Houston Chronicle: Judge wants ex-TSU president Slade tried in March
Ousted TSU President Priscilla Slade’s attorney said today he’s not sure he’ll be able to represent her again if prosecutors insist on retrying his client on financial mismanagement charges.
Defense attorney Mike DeGeurin said he remains hopeful that prosecutors will dismiss charges alleging Slade spent more than $500,000 of Texas Southern University’s money on personal expenses.
“This case should not be retried,” DeGeurin said. “I hope that when the dust settles, reason will prevail and there will be no need for another trial.”
Prosecutors said they would not consider dismissing the charges.
