Sam's just returned from Dallas County Commissioners Court, where John Wiley Price called a press conference to refute the allegations made in the latest Danny Defenbaugh report, which alleges that "at least 22 Dallas County Precinct 1 and 5 Deputy Constables were intimidated and coerced to provide security services for Kwanzaa Fest 2007 and/0r 2008, and were not compensated." This week's report follows Defenbaugh's 92-page report, released February 15, concerning his investigation of Precinct 5 Constable Jaime Cortes.
