161. Court Accountability
We support the right to inform the jurors of their common law power to judge law (jury nullification) as well as the evidence, and to vote on the verdict according to their conscience. We believe district attorneys have a duty to seek justice for victims of all forms of crime and oppose policies that systematically decline to prosecute crimes. All judges shall be required to state their final decisions on record, immediately validating and producing a mandatory Finding of Facts and Conclusions of Law for every substantive decision or final ruling in a case, and preserving the complete record in all transactions in court and in chambers, including audio and video. We support providing the Texas Attorney General a process to investigate and remove district attorneys that fail to enforce Texas law. Texas judges, attorneys, and court actors in Texas will no longer have any immunity when violating the law. Strong penalties should be implemented for elected officials found reducing criminal cases to skew records. We urge the Texas Legislature to enact legislation to hold judges and prosecutors accountable for violating their oaths of office or the laws of the State of Texas and to end any explicit or implicit judicial or prosecutorial immunity for their actions.
