Lisa Blue: 'The Democratic Party will be just fine' | Crime Blog

?

Dallas attorney and Democratic Party benefactor Lisa Blue says she?ll let political professionals ruminate about the potential fallout from court hearings in which Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins was accused of bringing charges against a defendant as a favor to her.

But Blue told The Dallas Morning News that she thinks that ?Democratic candidates and the Democratic Party will be just fine.?

State District Judge Lena Levario dismissed mortgage fraud charges against Al Hill III, the great-grandson of Texas oil legend H.L. Hunt, last week. By that time, Blue had pleaded the Fifth and Watkins was held in contempt.

Hill was once Blue?s client but they later found themselves on opposing sides in a lawsuit over attorney fees.

Both Blue and Watkins have denied that she encouraged Watkins to seek a criminal indictment against Hill. Hill?s lawyers argued that the criminal charges hindered his defense during that lawsuit.

We?ll be exploring the friendship and professional relationship between Blue and Watkins more in Sunday?s paper.
