DA Paperwork Screw-Up Lands Mortgage Fraud Indictments Of 28 "Down The Drain"

KHOU-TV Channel 11 in Houston, Texas reports:

• A new grand jury is now on the job in a high profile mortgage fraud investigation. The original indictments of 28 people in this case were thrown out after a paperwork mistake at the DA’s office. That error sent all the grand jury work from the last two months down the drain. The new grand jury is deciding whether to indict the suspects in the mortgage fraud case again.
