Dick DeGuerin Delay Quotations

Before the first indictment you tried to coerce a guilty plea from Tom DeLay for a misdemeanor, stating the alternative was indictment for a felony which would require his stepping down as Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.

Justice delayed is justice denied in this case. I ask you treat this case with dispatch and render decision forthwith.

If you read the indictment, you can't tell what Tom DeLay is charged with doing.

Generally speaking, Mr. DeLay has put all his confidence in the legal system that these charges will be resolved in a timely fashion.

I think everybody has cooperated with the government, and the evidence showed Tom DeLay did nothing wrong.

We are ready now. We don't want to delay the disposition of this case.

I thought that this would be resolved quickly, and Congressman DeLay can get back to Washington and resume his post. But obviously, the game here is to keep Congressman DeLay out of his leadership post in the Congress.

We've been right all along that Ronnie Earle charged a crime that didn't exist and there's 30 years of precedent that backs that up. We want to get to trial and hope once we do, a jury will find Tom Delay didn't do anything illegal.

There's no crime that's been committed. I am confident that, when we get to trial, we'll show that Tom DeLay did nothing wrong.

I don't mean to make a pun, but justice delayed is justice denied in this case.
