19, 2007 at 4:50 p.Post 8 November 19, 2007 at 5:20 p.And it's not fair to let Mauricio Celis go Judge shopping!What they should do is investigate the funneling of money being done by Congressman Ortiz and Lencho Rendon.Post 11 November 19, 2007 at 5:51 p.Post 12 November 19, 2007 at 5:53 p.That's exactly what I was thinking as I read this article!Post 13 November 19, 2007 at 5:55 p.Well, I guess he has his reasons; I sure would like to know what they are.Post 8Calm down I'm sure it was a bad mistake, but Canales and the Bonilla firm are just down the street from each other.Post 9Are you

business with Mauricio, did that testify in front of the Grand Jury?Mauricio knows Mexicans in Mexico!He went on to scream that Mauricio Celis is only 150 miles from the Mexican border and that his bond should not be set so high just because he's a Mexican who knows Mexicans in Mexico.Ole Canales is going to make this racial one way or another!He's been laundering dirty money from Mexico for a long time now.Post 25 November 19, 2007 at 7:10 p.Ojala que se tenga justicia y que estos racistas frustrados escribiendo aqui tenga que pedir disculpas.Parece que estan en casas de vidrio como va el

to this .Valdez follow the money you will uncover where the money and main players are .The Yellow dog Democrats are running and trying to find a place to hide .The lawyers in this town know each

cuello blanco.Estos rasitas quieren bajar el hispano de todos las offecinas que represetan.El tipo blanco que esta acusado de matar su esposa se asen sonsitos y no escriben nada.Post 32 November 19, 2007 at 8:49 p.Am I a second class citizen?If you don't have access to millions of dollars are you a second class citizen?Mauricio Celis think he is a FIRST CLASS CITIZEN?To not officially get booked?To not be placed in a cell for awhile?Let me inform you that your broke the law.If I present myself as a cop tonight and try to impede an investigation by the CCPD then I would expect to be caught and prosecuted.You were treated like a first class citizen (whatever that is) and now the Sheriff is on to your game and guess what?.........Post 33 November 19, 2007 at 8:55 p.However, this is not a Mexican newspaper so please respect this.Would you like reading a Mexican newspaper and some American wrote to the editor in English?I'm not going to back him or his ways just because he's Hispanic.I'm allowed to check the news at my employment during the day.Post 34 November 19, 2007 at 8:56 p.Post 35 November 19, 2007 at 9:14 p.Tony Canales, your job is for Celis to get a fair trial...Technically, that's an accessory to the crime, but you have a license to, huh?Plead him out for a couple of years, which would suffice.You know, if I remember right, didn't you have a case in the valley where you fought hard for a lady and tried to keep her out of jail, yet you seemed to have made it worse.You know what, never mind.....Celis will probably get more time with your help.Post 36 November 19, 2007 at 9:18 p.Post 46Funny you don't write like an attorney, but I agree with you nevertheless.Post 39 November 19, 2007 at 9:34 p.Kudos to you for standing up to this guy and doing the right thing!Besides he won't stick arounf for the trial.Sometimes we need the Celis's of the world so that we can recognize our own good fortunes.Post 43 November 19, 2007 at 10:19 p.Watching Celis' lawyers tell him to sit down and shut up was the icing on the cake!Carlos Valdez didn't receive any campaign contributions from Mauricio Celis!Celis has to give up his passport?Larry O is staying at home and being a real good boy right about now.And Mikal Watts dinner table?Valdez, get your ego out of the courtroom before you lose this case!Post 46 November 19, 2007 at 10:50 p.This guy will get his day in court as he stated.Let the system work since he believes in it.Some of you bloggers really enjoy watching this guy go down and some of you are praying and wishing he'll get lots of prison time or worse.Some of you want everyone holding any type of political or official office brought down with him.The anger, resentment and just plain hatered of this guy and others is very clear.Why is the guy that was recently arrested for murdering his wife not getting hateful blogs?Post 48 November 19, 2007 at 11:09 p.There is a drinking chum of Mr.Celis no es acusado de es un mexicano, hispano, latina, o latinoamericano.Corpus Christi, de cada carrera.Post 60I'm one of those hoping he goes down.I'm hoping any wife killer goes down too.Post 51 November 19, 2007 at 11:46 p.Celis is not accused (due to his being) a Mexican, Hispanic, Latin, or Latin American.His post looks like an attempt to get your sympathy, due to being Hispanic.Post 52 November 19, 2007 at 11:48 p.If not, let them go to jail and sit a while.If you are a good friend are you going to visit him in jail?Post 53 November 19, 2007 at 11:50 p.Surely Saldana, Olivarez, and Garcia are good for a nice chunka change ...Who can walk into the Nueces Co.Courthouse now and feel even mildly comfortable and secure that you MIGHT get a little justice should a case befall you?Post 56 November 20, 2007 at 12:34 a.Post 57 November 20, 2007 at 1:14 a.The public wants this to be a big deal but it just isn't.Then Celis pays the fine and keeps doing what he's been doing being a bit more careful with the details next time.Celis cannot hide in Mexico these days, it isn't 1962 anymore.Besides, he posted the cash and will get it all back so who cares how much it was.Not only do we have to house them, we feed them, provide them with medical and dental care and in most cases provide them a court appointed attorney (they aren't actually free).The money would be better spent on DNA testing for capital cases.Mauricio Celis is still in the process of being investigated and has bought and paid for our area politicians.Mikal Watts didn't pull out for nothing.You really believe this man has done no wrong?See nothing in his work history that would account for the amounts of money he's tossed to local politicians (including Judges) over the past couple of years.Wonder why this hasn't been looked at a little more deeply.Whose Inquiring Mind Would Like To Know!I'm post 73, and I feel better after reading your post.It just seems to make more sense after we hear from you.Let's bring down the mob once and for all!And we do owe a lot of thanks to the hot tub women!Whoever you are I could just kiss you !!!LOL
Over and out and looking forward to the next legal brief!You think Celis is laundering money for the who??It's only your opinion and I happen to agree with a lot of your opinions, but a lot of times...You agree not to post comments that are off topic, contain links to sites other than Caller.It was 1946, just after the War.After this, I was missioned to Moye Military School in Castroville, Texas.They came to the kitchen for food and attention.Cooking for a hundred boarding boys three meals a day was even more challenging.God's Call: How do you show God's love?God that transforms it into a place of peace

court?Now, he's being accused of practicing law without a license.Texas law prohibits anyone from owning a controlling interest in a law firm unless he is a licensed lawyer.Celis' business cards, letterhead and his firm's Web site identified him as an attorney licensed in Mexico.One business fax sheet stated he was licensed in Washington, D.Celis also signed a settlement document as an attorney.He told Police Chief Bryan Smith he was licensed in Mexico, according to the indictment.That attempt apparently failed, and he also faces charges for impersonating a police officer.He told a court that he had a degree from a Mexican university in judicial sciences.He apparently never graduated from the school, and the case is strong enough for an aggravated perjury charge.Donations went to John Edwards, Claire McCaskill, Ken and John Salazar, and especially the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the DNC, the latter two of which accounts for almost half of those donations.He's a fairly heavy hitter, especially here in Texas.It doesn't seem petty to the people who accuse Celis of defrauding them through his misrepresentations as an attorney, though, nor to the woman whom he attempted to kidnap through deception right out from under police protection.It once again calls into question the company Democrats keep in their political circles.In these days of Norman Hsu and the Fujian fundraising scandals, this case may only qualify as a minor embarrassment to Hillary Clinton and Texas Democrats.Now, he's being accused of practicing law without a license.Times reported in its online edition.Celis' business cards, letterhead and his firm's Web site identified him as an attorney licensed in Mexico.One business fax sheet stated he was licensed in Washington, D.He told Police Chief Bryan Smith he was licensed in Mexico, according to the indictment.That attempt apparently failed, and he also faces charges for impersonating a police officer.Next comes a perjury charge stemming from his testimony in a civil lawsuit last May.He told a court that he had a degree from a Mexican university in judicial sciences.He apparently never graduated from the school, and the case is strong enough for an aggravated perjury charge.He's a fairly heavy hitter, especially here in Texas.Thanks to Santay in the comments who pointed out my error.He lives with

alleged that it was Raquel who initiated the sexual congress, contending that
no force or intimidation had been shown by complainant as a result of the
alleged assault upon her.For rape to exist, it is not
necessary that the force or intimidation employed be so great or of such
character as could not be resisted.Celis dragged Raquel to the makeshift hut, he told her to cooperate with him or
she would be shot.It constitutes an element of rape.Confronted with a
frightful experience such as rape, not every victim can be expected to act
conformably with the expectation of mankind.Raquel attempted to free herself by pushing her
assailants with her hands and feet, but they were too strong for her.She also tried to shout for help, but nobody
could save her at that time of night.In the morning, she saw a policeman sitting beside her in the jeepney,
and lost no time telling him of her harrowing experience the previous night.The more
important point to consider is that the testimony of the complainant about the
incident is clear, unequivocal and credible.The award should be
increased to P50,000.Moreover, an additional amount of P50,000.Court hereby AFFIRMS the decision of the
lower court convicting Carlos A.Celis of one count of rape and Roque A.Celis
of two counts of rape, and sentencing each of them to reclusion perpetua
for each rape, with the MODIFICATION that the indemnity granted to
victim Raquel Viernes shall be increased from thirty thousand pesos
