“Travis County prosecutors dropped all of the remaining charges against longtime state Rep. Dawnna Dukes on Monday, bringing an end to a legal soap opera that could have put the lawmaker behind bars.”
Snip.
“Moore pinned the case’s collapse on conflicting statements given by Steve Adrian, a top official in the Texas House, who had told prosecutors that travel to the Capitol was required to earn the per-diem payments but later recanted in a statement to Dukes’ lawyers.”
This is odd, as a most of the charges against Dukes had nothing to do with the per diem abuse issue.

Only odd from the point of view of justice, fairness, rule of law. Outside that, and into the world of politics, seems rather predictable.
