Many observers in Williamson County wondered if the matter would end there. Rarely have Texas prosecutors had to answer tough questions about their conduct, even in the wake of wrongful convictions. But in February, Judge Harle ruled that the investigation conducted by Michael’s lawyers suggested that there was probable cause to believe Anderson had broken the law in failing to turn over evidence that was “highly favorable” to the defense. Harle recommended that the Texas Supreme Court launch a court of inquiry to look into the matter. A week later, the Supreme Court concurred with Harle’s findings and ruled that an inquiry should proceed. Anderson would have to answer for his alleged misconduct.
Personally I don’t believe that Chief Pirsig, should have even been given the working role of Chief. Being the Chief of police takes a lot of work and you must be able to make quick decisions when needed. Because the chief did not feel comfortable making unanticipated decisions in unsettled circumstance, I don’t think he should be the Chief of the police department. He clearly had so much anxiety about making a decision he was physically ill and had to take days off from work.

Tom, Merchants Walk has been great, the department is performing well, I cannot beat the commute and my second anniversary with The Home Depot is just around the corner. I am still interested in growth opportunity and was hoping we might have an opportunity to reconnect to explore whether any needs in the finance group have changed or perhaps you might be able to point me to someone within Kelly Barrett’s organization. I understand Home Services is an important part of the growth plan and have some direct experience with some of our programs, as well as some ideas re how and where we can manage and improve. Understanding Kelly’s finance and audit background, I believe it could be another potential fit. Regards, Richard
The situation began to unfold when the Securities and Exchange Commission was probing into a restatement of the company's stock price. Kozlowski's business practices raised some eyebrows. In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated an inquiry into Tyco's practices that resulted in a restatement of the company's earnings. In January, 2002, questionable accounting practices came to light. Tyco had forgiven a $19 million, no-interest loan to Kozlowski in 1998 and had paid the CEO's income taxes on the loan. It was found that he company's stock price had been overrated, and that the CEO and CFO had sold 100 million dollars' worth of shares, and then stated to the public that he was holding them, which was a misrepresentation and misled the investors.
