The head on this Reuters story says it starkly: "Texas Prosecutor Steps Into Job After Predecessor Gunned Down."
Brandi Fernandez
slipped into the Kaufman County Courthouse in her first full day as
interim district attorney on Tuesday, taking over a job that authorities
believe got her predecessor and one of her colleagues killed.
Praised as a smart, tough
litigator and a fierce advocate for child victims of crime, Fernandez
declined to address reporters and remained under close protection inside
the courthouse throughout the day. A police cruiser was parked outside
her single-family home surrounded by trees on Monday and Tuesday....
Authorities have yet to identify any suspects
while people in Kaufman speculate it was the work of the Aryan
Brotherhood of Texas, a white supremacist prison gang that had been the
target of 34 indictments stemming from a task force that included
Kaufman County prosecutors.
