AUSTIN - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today agreed to an 18-month pretrial intervention agreement proposed by the Special Prosecutors in exchange for dismissal of all charges against him in connection with the case The State of Texas v Warren Kenneth Paxton, Jr., a press release states.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton avoided heading to trial and testifying over the nearly nine-year-long securities fraud case against him.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is due back in court on Friday. This comes a week after defense attorneys on Paxton's securities fraud case filed a motion for the charges against Paxton to be thrown out due to delays getting in the way of the attorney general's constitutional right to a fair trial.
Paxton’s attorneys argued that nearly nine years of delays – many of them on procedural motions brought by the defense – have denied Paxton his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
