Perry Abuses of Official Capacity Case Dismisses Coercion Charge
A Texas appeals court dismissed one felony count in the Rick Perry abuse of power case, removing coercion of a public official as a free speech violation. The remaining count is abuse of official capacity, a first degree felony, with potential 5 to 99 years in prison if convicted. The charges stem from Perry's 2013 veto threat over 7.5 million dollars for an integrity unit after Rosemary Lehmberg's drunken driving case.
