County judge calls for investigation into Rosenthal

By MATT STILES AND ALAN BERNSTEIN

Harris County government chief Ed Emmett today called for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's staff to conduct an independent investigation of local District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal in the wake of the disclosure of e-mails on Rosenthal's county government account containing racist jokes, campaign activity and sexually explicit videos.

Such an investigation apparently could turn Rosenthal, who is in charge of prosecuting Harris County crimes ranging from capital murder to bicycle theft, into a criminal suspect.

Emmett, the county judge, announced that the Harris County attorney is making the request to the state's top law enforcement officer a few hours after Emmett's opponent in the March 4 Republican primary, former district clerk Charles Bacarisse, said Rosenthal should resign and that an independent investigation of him is needed.

"I believe we have a situation here where laws have been broken," by Rosenthal, Bacarisse said.
