Der Generalstaatsanwalt von Texas, Ken Paxton, hat es vermieden, vor Gericht wegen Betrugs angeklagt zu werden, indem er sich stattdessen zu gemeinnütziger Arbeit verpflichtet hat. Dies wurde in einem Artikel von ABC News berichtet.

Paxton erhielt die Anschuldigung, dass er Investoren in ein betrügerisches Schneeballsystem verwickelt habe. Anstatt sich jedoch vor Gericht zu verteidigen, stimmte er zu, 250 Stunden gemeinnützige Arbeit zu leisten und eine Buße zu zahlen.

Die Entscheidung, das Verfahren auf diese Weise zu beenden, stieß auf Kritik bei denen, die der Meinung waren, dass Paxton nicht angemessen zur Rechenschaft gezogen wurde. Einige forderten seinen Rücktritt als Generalstaatsanwalt von Texas.

Paxton selbst verteidigte seine Entscheidung und erklärte, dass er unschuldig sei und nur eingewilligt habe, um den Streit beizulegen und weiterzumachen.

Es bleibt abzuwarten, wie diese Entwicklung sich auf Paxtons politische Zukunft auswirken wird und ob er seine Position als Generalstaatsanwalt behalten kann.
