District Attorney Henry Garza And Bell County TX Voters. Meet Christopher Precopia.

District Attorney Henry Garza of Bell County, TX and local police recently arrested Christopher Precopia and prepared him for prosecution after an ex-girlfriend accused him of breaking in to her apartment and cutting a X in to her chest with a box cutter. While Precopia is from nearby Williamson County, TX, the crime is alleged to have occurred in Bell County. Precopia was arrested and jailed by local police without even making contact with him and asking any investigative questions. He was given a $150,000 bond and reported that when he attempted to talk with police in jail they told him “Don’t pretend like you didn’t do it”. Sounds like an open and shut case doesn’t it? After all, given epidemic levels of domestic violence, who would ever question the innocence of a young jilted ex-lover of a woman right? Here is the problem, District Attorney Garza has a secret weapon he knows will likely win in cases like this, it’s called political correctness and mob mentality.

What transpired after the arrest of Christopher Precopia

Despite facing 99 years in prison, the district attorney and local police continued the prosecution of this man with only 50% of the investigation complete. Had they actually done their job, they would know that the mother of Mr. Precopia had a timestamped and geo-location stamped picture of her and her son at the time the ex-girlfriend claimed that he assaulted her. The picture was taken over 65 miles away from where the ex-girlfriend lives. Additionally, cell phone pings would easily reveal where Mr. Precopia was at the time of the alleged crime.

Incredibly, even with with knowledge, the district attorney kept the pressure on the accused along with local police help.

What will transpire after this matter, and what should transpire

1. Given the exculpatory evidence, the DA will likely drop the case and Mr. Precopia will just have to deal with his likely loss of employment, social stigmatization, time incarcerated, and his family will just have to deal with the money they put up for his bail.

2, The accuser will not be questioned about her conflicting statements to police, nor be prosecuted.

3. The police and the DA knows that the Precopia family will likely be too scared to take law enforcement and him to court, even if they can find a lawyer who will want to sue their colleagues.

4. The narrative and political profits of this case will be more important than an individual facing life in prison.

5. What should happen in this matter is that the Precopia family should hire an out of state civil rights attorney who files a federal lawsuit against them far away from their protected enclave.

Our questions for WOMEN voters in Bell County TX who have sons

As women and voters, how do you feel knowing that this man (someone’s son) and likely your sons can be arrested, imprisoned, lose a job and be socially stigmatized in the local community based on a simple allegation where only that accuser gives information?

How do you feel knowing that the local county DA and local police likely know that you can’t do anything about this wrongful prosecution if you are able to bring forth exculpatory evidence?

How do you feel knowing that the accuser in this matter will never face prosecution or be questioned in a manner which protects both parties in the process of what actually happened instead of forming a conclusion that can help a political narrative and future political aspirations for Mr. Garza?
