As Theresa reported to you some time ago, Ashlie Hardway, Channel 7, KVIA reporter, was court ordered to appear to testify and she willfully REFUSED to obey the order and did not show up to court.--There was some chat on other forums trying to explain her violation of the law. I believe someone said that it was because she had only been served the day before the hearing.--Don't fall for that one. There is no, "served the day before exception" to obeying a court order. If you have been served, and she had been personally served, you by law MUST show up. Don't try what Ashlie Hardway did. Unless you fall into the "I am special and connected category of El Pasoan and am a TV reporter and can and will do cover up stories for those in power," the judge won't give a wit about when you were served, even if you were just served that morning and were on your way out of town for a family reunion. He will send the deputies out to haul you in. You will also be looking at contempt proceedings. But somehow or another Ashlie Hardway thinks she is special. She just doesn't show up and sends her lawyer Luther Jones in her stead. Despite her and others' protestations, sending your lawyer in your stead is also not legal.
Today at 1:00 p.m. in the 346th District Court, Ashlie Hardway has once again been court ordered to appear. Let's see if Hardway breaks the law today or if she feels compelled, as do ordinary citizens, to follow the law.
Remember Hardway's conduct as you receive your jury duty summons. Do you think you can fail to show up because you don't feel like it, because it is not convenient? Remember Hardway's conduct as you are hauled into jury duty court for failing to apear for jury duty and are sentenced to confinement and a fine. Ask the judge why you have to follow the law and Hardway doesn't? (her signed subponae is attached to the previous blog as proof). Are you tired of people like Hardway getting away with breaking the law and you aren't given the same treatment. How come with the rest of us, "The law is the law?"
