Blaylock is a pimp for the Dumbokratic Party and his position as "consultant" for local media makes recent statements by him to be controversial...conflict of interst. That's the reason Hernande hired him, because he is conflicted and his position as "legal consultant" to local media makes his views a conflict of interest. John Blaylock is a DICK!
Lawyers for both sides are posturing and trying to influence the potential jury pool in this case. Shame on them both!

If Mr. Robbins is going to say in his current position, he need to develop a thicker skin. Defense lawyers are going to take pot shots at him and the system. That is the way has been done for generations.
Two suggestions for Mr. Blaylock, get your money up front and try not to insult the community who will be judging your client.
I find these comments by Blaylock insulting and offensive to the people/citizens of this county who sit as Grand jurors. Shame on you Blaylock...you should know better than to insult the people like that...I think you need to drop Hernandez like a Hot Potato!
As a former Grand Juror, I took offense to Mr. Blaylock's comments. He forgets that he was once part of the CCDA and assisted in getting "ham sandwich" Indictments against those who lack money or political backing. I took pride in devoting my time and effort to see that the legal system's wheels keep turning. He was part of Armando Villalobos administration and did nothing to curtail the corruption in this county. I have heard numerous complaints on Mr. Blaylock for lack of doing his job even after his clients had paid him well. I hope that Mr. Luis Saenz will not give him any special privileges or considerations on Ernie Hernandez' case? The CCDA office needs to treat Ernie Hernandez like any other defendant with pending charges and prosecute to the fullest!
John Blaylock is a DICK! He loves to see himself on TV has even given himself a TV persona....the unbuttoned shirt, pulled down tie and beard. He loves the camera and is probably representing Hernandez pro bono just to get himself on TV. Blaylock has one goal, delaying this process against Hernandez through the election. If and when Hernandez goes to court he will likely have a real attorney....not a media hound. Keeping Hernandez in the news and giving him a "face of innocence" is Blaylock's role. Hernandez would never go to jury with Blaylock representing him.
Though the grand jury was set up to restrain the government from bringing baseless charges, it is highly unusual for a grand jury to refuse to indict whomever the prosecutor chooses. That’s because the grand jury, as opposed to the regular jury that will determine the final verdict, hears only from the prosecutor. The jury, therefore, is only allowed to hear what the prosecutor wants it to hear. When you hear only one side of a story, it is easy to believe it, but things often look very different when you are allowed to hear from the other side.
The prosecutor is free to present whatever evidence he thinks make the strongest case and leave out facts that may weaken his case. The prosecutor is allowed to speak, but the defense is not. The prosecutor controls the entire process; the defense lawyer isn’t even in the room.
Judge Solomon Wachtler of the New York Court of Appeals famously observed that prosecutors have so much control over grand juries that they could convince them to "indict a ham sandwich."
So if you find yourself indicted, a "Dick" of a lawyer is who you would want to retain as counsel.
The Grand Jury is a secret entity that meets only with the district attorneys. The Grand Jury relies solely on the district attorney for its information. The district attorney may tell them anything with no accountability. This is because the Grand Jurors are sworn to secrecy and can not discuss what they were told. It is folly to believe that the Grand Jury system can not be abused.
However, Mr. Robbins, if you need an example of abuse of this process, simply look down your hallway to the office of fellow ADA Mr. Gus Garza who was wrongfully indicted by a vindictive district attorney from Willacy County. Mr. Garza was indicted by Juan Guerra along with Judge Migdalia Lopez, Judge Janet Leal, and Vice President Dick Cheney to name a few.
I know members of that Grand Jury in Willacy County who indicted these people and I can assure you they are honorable people. However, they were only given Juan Guerra"s version of events which resulted in the indictments.
Grand Jurors are not the problem, they should be given more information. With this poignant example there is no doubt that this system can be abused. To suggest otherwise is to spew misinformation to the public. Thank goodness there are defense attorneys out there who will put there neck on the line to demand that the constitution be followed. Without them, our rights would be trampled.
Ernie Hernandez has been a lying, cheating crook for decades. As a public office holder he's made a career of robbing the public blind via illegal contracts and kickbacks for the special favors he gives his friends and family. The charges he faces now are peanuts. He should be locked away in the federal pen.
Upon reading the letter authored by E. Robbins, ADA of CC, I was curious as to what the misinformation was that Blaylock “spouted” with regards to the indictments that prompted Robbins to demand a retraction and or an apology. Robbins failed to mention what that was when he chose not to include in his letter, the exact misinformation. In addition, Robbins alleges that Blaylock’s comments are an insult directed towards GJ. I suspect this was intentional so as to get the reader upset, which it did. So, I was left to conclude that Robbins was referring to the “ham sandwich comment”. Upon researching how indictments are handed down, it is a certainty that a True Bill will be returned on any given case, as observed by Judge S. Wachtler of the NY Court of Appeals who is synonymous with the ham sandwich comment. Robbins states that the members of a GJ are “necessary and vital actors who hear evidence….” What he DOES NOT mention is that the evidence that the GJ hears is evidence that is hand picked by the DA. Robbins also states that as the supervisor of this process, he ensures that cases are not politically motivated or prosecuted improperly. In order for this to be true, Robbins would also have to present to the GJ any information that would contradict what his office is presenting as evidence. We will never know if this occurred due to the secrecies involving the GJ process. Robbins, having this knowledge, appears to have gotten his feathers ruffled when Blaylock pointed out the possibility of abuse. Robbins then gave an emotional plea concerning the honor of GJs in an attempt to please his boss. It is Robbins, not Blaylock, who owes the GJ an apology for misguiding the GJ and using the GJ in his fight.
Nice bullshit boys, but how is it that Ernie Hernandez was NO BILLED by a previous grand jury if the system is so one sided?
"It is folly to believe that the Grand Jury system can not be abused." What a grand asinine statement. Of course, any legal act can be "abused". What else is new? If Mr. Hernandez is convicted, we hope to see these same detractors praising the Grand Jury system. I wonder if defense lawyers charge by the hour to come up with phony "beginning arguments".
It is true that Juan Guerra indicted Garza, Judge Leal, Judge Lopez and VP Dick Cheney. And I believe it was John Blaylock who got those indictments dismissed. What a dick!

Shut up Wightman.
Wow very unprofessional of an ADA to release something like that. Only in the valley! It doesn't matter what your position is on this matter, it only matters what an elected officials office does in the public eye. Just when you think you've seen it all...
Gee, I thought Blaylock had more integrity than what has recently been displayed in the media!
I guess when you're a hired hand, you dance to their tune.
Just disappointing. Tsk. Tsk.
