Thanks, Mark, for the latest in the Corpus Chronicles. If Tom Perez could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Christina and Victor were not an item, it would not erase the misconduct documented in Judge Cordell's report. It's Corpus' actions as sheriff... not what she does when she's off…

Did anything occur at the scene of the investigation that may suggest law enforcement's response was inappropriate? Was there any part of this tragedy that supports locking up the SUV driver to wait for a decision by the DA? Was that driver released OR? Did the driver post bail? If any of…
