...later, before a roomful of reporters, DeLay addressed a Texas grand jury's charge that he and two political associates conspired to funnel $155,000 in illegal corporate campaign contributions into Texas legislative races. He called it "one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history" and the prosecutor who brought the case "a partisan fanatic."

DeLay even made an uncharacteristic round of the cable shows, hinting darkly on CNN that he would soon produce "very good evidence" that...

...Garcetti is used to being in front of the cameras. As a former district attorney for Los Angeles County, the suave prosecutor with silver hair and movie-star looks faced the media in practically every big homicide case of the 1990s, from O.J.
