Representatives of the District Attorney asking for gifts smells of CORRUPTION. How is this legal? I thought they were not supposed to have even a hint of impropriety?!
Totally absurd. I hope there's a deeper investigation by some unbiased people, which wouldn't include the DA's office!

Watkins is a crook. He wouldn't even prosecute 3 cops who blackmailed a former prostitute who they had sex with for a period of 3 years.

Let's see, the D.A and his assistant don't remember who gave them luxury suite boxes to a Cowboys game? That should tell us a little something of the quality of prosecution in Dallas County, shouldn't it?
What else have they conveniently forgotten?

Craig Watkins had a closet full of skeletons when he won this office. I certainly didn't expect things would get any better. And I hope there is an investigation into these gifts. He would like to paint himself as the knight who swooped into save Dallas County. For example, he takes credit for all the DNA exonerations of late, but if you look at the dates when the "Innocence Project" began their queries, you'll see that Craig Watkins had little to do with any of them.

And, Mr. Watkins' statement to Fox 4 is even further example of his hubris. We should all focus on what he says is good and what he says is bad. There is no room in his world for journalists to do their jobs -- which is to ask questions and find the truth. In this case, the truth is that the District Attorney of Dallas County, the man elected to uphold our laws, broke them and is still sitting in office, a luxury he would not allow others.

The DA and his staff broke the law and ethics of public service. All those involved should be dismissed including the DA. There is no excuse for this conduct.

family member in prison for a crime they did not commit. What is really sad the real guilty person is out there probably still committing crimes. Where is the justice in that. Mr. Watkins gave Fox 4 these documents about the holiday party because he wasn’t hiding anything. His staff asked for the gifts. Maybe his staff didn’t know it wasn’t right to do this. So you persecute Mr. Watkins? The problem is that Fox 4 has looked into anything to corrupt Mr. Watkins and this is what they came up with. Mr. Watkins is making history across the United States because he really cares about the citizens of Dallas County. I looked at the attachment of the letter that Mr. Watkins wrote responding to this which is on your website. He says that he spent $4500 personally on the holiday party for his employees. Fox 4 as well as other news were even invited to the party so Mr. Watkins wasn't trying to hide anything like you are trying to make it. I think there are politicans and former employees that can't stand the good that Mr. Watkins is doing for Dallas County and will do whatever they can to try to make him sound dirty. It is to bad that Fox 4 didn't care about looking into the hidden evidence in Hill's or Wade's tenure. Maybe if they had investigated it then Mr. Watkins wouldn't be doing the fantastic job that he is doing. Dallas County is truly fortunate to have him as their district attorney. I am ashamed I ever watched Fox 4 News. I will never make that mistake again.
