Houston Press update on HCDAO and 2008 dogfighting bust

HOUSTON PRESS JOURNALIST CRAIG MALISOW posts a depressing update about the 2008 bust of a dogfighting ring in the Houston area:

The majority of Harris County dog fighters charged after a massive 2008 undercover investigation were given deferred adjudication, served as little as two days in jail, had their charges dropped, or were never arrested.

Harris County prosecutor Belinda Smith came off much better in this lengthy, riveting piece that Skip Hollandsworth did for the August 2009 edition of Texas Monthly. Apparently, that wasn't the whole story of this massive (and massively expensive, we expect) law-enforcement effort.
