A school district and local prosecutors in Texas are refusing to drop charges against an 11-year-old who was held in solitary confinement.
Officers detained the boy and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center. Cameron County prosecutors argued for charges of “terroristic threat.”
Despite being accused of ignoring Texas laws which require parental involvement before such interventions, Cameron County District Attorney Rene Garza told a hearing Wednesday that his office was gathering further evidence against Murray, rather than deciding to drop the charges.

What’s going on here, is this a coincidence or is there some nepotism involved?
It’s definitely possible, but Garza is also a really common Hispanic name. I could personally name a few Garza’s off the top of my head who aren’t related at all actually lol.
That being said, this all sounds sketchy as hell already, so who knows? Can’t say it would surprise me at this point.
I wondered that also.
