JUSTICE IS BLIND!
“The distinction between a large campaign contribution and a bribe,” the late Senator Russell B. Long of Louisiana said, “is almost a hairline’s difference.”
Texas Penal Code – Section 36.02. Bribery
(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly offers, confers, or agrees to confer on another, or solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept from another: (1) any benefit as consideration for the recipient’s decision, opinion, recommendation, vote, or other exercise of discretion as a public servant, party official, or voter; (2) any benefit as consideration for the recipient’s decision, vote, recommendation, or other exercise of official discretion in a judicial or administrative proceeding;
(e) An offense under this section is a felony of the second degree.
Second Degree Felony Range of Punishment – Texas Penal Code
§ 12.33. SECOND DEGREE FELONY PUNISHMENT.
(a) An individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the second degree shall be punished by imprisonment in the institutional division for any term of not more than 20 years or less than 2 years.
(b) In addition to imprisonment, an individual adjudged guilty of a felony of the second degree may be punished by a fine not to exceed $10,000.
The Bribery Statute says that the briber and the bribee shall be equally imprisoned for 2 to 20 years.

An offense under this section of the Texas Bribery Statute is a felony of the second degree, which means 2 to 20 years in prison. And the amount is “anything of value.”
So bribers and bribees be ready for the handcuffs! As long as JUSTICE IS BLIND, you shall face the music one of these days!
I’ll continue to expose all your dark sides concealed in the court papers because of your conspiracy, fraudulent concealment and obstruction of justice, conspirators and co-conspirators!
A social life like this is waiting for the conspirators and co-conspirators!

Top Contributors & Their Contributions to Judge Skipper Koetter
Source: See Texas Ethics Commission Report by The Texas Tribune.
Being the recipient of one of the Top Contributors, David Roberts and his law firm Roberts Roberts Odefey Witte LLP, Judge Koetter violated, inter alia, Canon 4 d (4)(c) & Bribery Statute 18 U.S.C. § 201(c)(1)(A) when these donors appeared in the proceedings before him.
- Canon 4 D (4)(c) states: “a judge or a family member residing in the judge’s household may accept any other gift, bequest, favor, or loan only if the donor is not a party or person whose interests have come or are likely to come before the judge.” & Bribery Statute 18 U.S.C. § 201(c)(1)(A) prohibits giving “anything of value” to a present, past, or future public official “for or because of any official act performed or to be performed by such public official.”
- Judge Koetter should have recused or disqualified himself under such circumstances, but he didn’t.

Roberts Roberts & Odefey LLP | Contributor | 77979 | 3 | $2,050.10 | ||
Roberts Roberts & Odefey LLP | Contributor | 77979 | 1 | $1,000.00 |
Thus, $1,850.00 + $1,000.00 + $2,050.10 + $1,000 = $5,900.10 is recorded.
3. Roberts, Chen’s former lawyer, admitted that he was accustomed to playing cards with the district court judges, and that he preferred filing his pleadings with the state district court. Did some more cash change hands under the table? That is the question?! Wow! Looks like it could be right on the table!![]() ![]() ![]() |
