Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas I was shocked to find out that John Bradley essentially stonewalled the implementation of a Williamson County Veterans Court said U.S. Army combat veteran Josh Hinton in announcing the formation of an organization called Veterans for Jana Duty to support her bid to become Williamson County District Attorney. To be honest this organization was going to be Veterans for a Williamson County Veterans Court aimed at helping those who have fought and suffered for the freedom of all Americans. But when Jana Duty pledged her support of Veterans and the formation of a Veterans Court we saw that there was a strong proponent for our cause" said Hinton.
Hinton said he decided to form the group after attending a recent political forum in Sun City where he learned about incumbent John Bradleys cynical views and lack of respect for our combat veterans.
She is a natural choice for veterans to support for the office of Williamson County District Attorney.
The legislation that allows for the formation of Veterans Courts was unanimously approved by the Texas legislature in 2009 and had the backing and support of Williamson Countys Republican representatives; Senator Steve Ogden and Representative Dan Gattis.
No member of the Texas Legislature voted in opposition to this legislation.
The only people eligible for the Veterans Courts are those who have been diagnosed with brain injury or mental illness that occurred because they were in a war zone.
After a person meets these strict criteria then the prosecutor must agree on a case by case basis to allow a particular veteran to go into this court. Then the prosecutor and defense attorney create a treatment plan. If the veteran completes the treatment plan and the prosecutor agrees they have been rehabilitated there is no conviction and their record may be expunged.
If not then they will be required to go back through the justice system just like anyone else accused of a crime.
Hinton continued A vast number of these veterans never had a record before going off to war. But they come back home after protecting our freedoms and liberties make a mistake and then end up with a record they may never be able to overcome.
Veterans are trained to do what is necessary to survive and it becomes second nature. Sometimes that training does not fit into civilian life. We owe it to our disabled veterans and those who are forever changed because of the horrors of war to create a system that gives them a second chance" Hinton said.
John Bradleys opposition to the concept of Veterans Courts is one thing but the derogatory manner in which he refers to veterans should enrage every red blooded American who honors the sacrifices our veterans have made. Worse still he claims it would be a burden on taxpayers when he knows full well there are courts and attorneys who are willing to volunteer their time to hold the Veterans Court after hours and at no expense to the taxpayer.
Veterans for Jana Duty is calling out to the citizens of Williamson County and to all America to show our veterans America still cares and that we appreciate the sacrifices they have made on our behalf. Whether you are a veteran or you just want to show your support of veterans please join us today.
