republican acts like a Democrat and Dems are upset. After losing seat to Democrat, Texas judge frees most juvenile defendants, skips court Filed under 2018 Elections at 10 hrs ago Share Facebook Twitter Email Written by Sara Coello, Breaking News Reporter Connect with Sara Coello On Twitter Email Updated 1 p.m. Nov. 8: Revised to include that Glenn Devlin did not appear in court Thursday morning. A Texas judge ousted in Tuesday's midterm elections spent Wednesday morning releasing nearly all of the juvenile defendants who came before him — and didn't show up to court Thursday. Harris County Juvenile Court Judge Glenn Devlin lost his re-election bid to Natalia Oakes as Democrats swept the county's juvenile judicial offices. "He was releasing everybody," public defender Steven Halpert told the Houston Chronicle. "Apparently he was saying that's what the voters wanted." Devlin asked each of the defendants he saw whether they planned to kill anyone upon their release, the Chronicle reported, then released them until a rescheduled Jan. 4 court date — the day Oakes takes over the 313th District Court. "This could endanger the public," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a written statement. "We oppose the wholesale release of violent offenders at any age." After the ACLU of Texas asked the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct to investigate Devlin's actions, he apparently did not come to court Thursday. The court's coordinator did not respond to requests for comment on his absence. "Maybe he is reflecting upon the merits of his new release policy," Harris County Chief Public Defender Alex Bunin told the Chronicle. Harris County nearly doubled the number of youths sent to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department during Devlin's tenure, but Halpert told the Chronicle he'd seen only one defendant kept in custody Wednesday. Seven were released, including four facing charges of aggravated robbery, officials told the paper. Devlin campaigned on a platform of reducing recidivism, especially for youth involved in gangs. "I feel I bring the right balance of fairness, toughness and judicial knowledge to the 313th District," Devlin wrote on his election website. "We're talking about the future generations of our society and our nation."
