Pre-trial release program faces suit in Dallas County
Dallas County experiments with a two year pre trial release program that lets awaiting trial individuals work and pay taxes while staying out of jail. A lawsuit is filed Friday by bondsman Robert Peacock, the program's first director, claiming the plan violates the state constitution. Peacock says he believed this earlier but could not act, and he left for private practice.
