Soros-funded ($1.400,000) Harris County District Attorney who is considered one of the more moderate of Soros’s prosecutors, and had to overcome opposition from even more left-wing prosecutors in 2020. Houston’s homicide rate rose 71% in 2021 with her as prosecutor while Ogg dismissed 800+ cases filed against violent Black Lives Matter protesters.
“She has abandoned the values and standards of our community to become a puppet for those whose clear agenda is to corrupt the rule of law in Harris County,” Incumbent Republican District Attorney Devon Anderson’s political consultant, Allan Blakemore, said.
A police sergeant in Houston was shot dead by a convicted felon with multiple prior assaults on his record who was in police custody just two days earlier, and whom Ogg allowed to go free.
One of Ogg’s favorite activities is the deferred adjudication program. Basically, when you are charged with a crime and receive deferral, you plead guilty and walk free from the courtroom. As long as they don’t re-offend, the suspect’s criminal history will not show a conviction.
Here’s Ogg’s deferred adjudication record as of only December 2019:1
- – 1,600 aggravated assault.
- – 1,100 aggravated robbery and robbery.
- – 600 possession of child pornography/indecency with a child/online solicitation of a minor.
- – 300 sexual assault.
- – 1,750 felony DWI offenses.
- – 300 felon in possession of a firearm.
Former prosecutor Cheryl Chapell said District Attorney Kim Ogg was unhappy after an internal COVID-19 document leaked, so she started an internal investigation into several employees. “I think it absolutely has a public concern, which is why I even made some of my concerns somewhat public,” Chapell told ABC13. Chapell, who worked at the office since 2013, quit this summer. In her resignation letter she said that Ogg’s office went too far in the inquiry, even sending investigators to her home, seizing work-issued electronics and trying to get access to data from her personal cell phone. Chapell said another employee ended up coming forward to confess to the leak. “It’s made so clear that the public eye is her only concern and not justice, which really it should be the opposite,” Chapell said.
Then, another resignation happened on Labor Day 2020. Jessica Milligan, who worked on the animal cruelty task force, left after more than a decade. Her resignation letter was first obtained and reported by a journalist for the nonprofit Marshall Project. It claimed Ogg’s leadership was choosing which cases to prosecute based on politics and not justice.
While letting real criminals free, Ogg goes after innocent companies and individuals such as the case of Arkema for political purposes such as promoting climate change.
