A Fannin County Trial
With three days left before last Christmas, the Fannin County jury of one man and five women found Bob and Pat Egert of Ben Franklin guilty of Harassment. In 2005, the Egerts had made a series of telephone calls to Bobby Fines and Vickie Leggett of Ivanhoe in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Leggett filed a complaint to the Fannin County Sheriffâs Office. âWhen I went to see Fannin County District Attorney Richard Glaser after receiving notice of a charge against me,â Pat said, âhe pulled out his desk drawers, put his feet up on them, and told me that I would not be able to tell my side of the story in court.â The jury never knew this. Glaserâs motion, once accepted by the district court judge, effectively denied the Egerts from telling much of their side of the story, just as Glaser allegedly said would happen. The jury would never know that they had heard only part of the story. Read 3/18/07 Part One: Homeowner convicted for reporting Builder to TRCC & the Better Business Bureau
