Tyler's Chief of Staff position under Ratcliff
was (according to Tyler) an overglorified Office Manager. Ratcliff had zero access to case files or victims identification. He was hired so Tyler could "keep an eye on him" during the investigation.
Yet dozens of cases were discovered with Ratcliff's signature on them. Tyler appointed Ratcliff to be his representative at Hope Of South Texas (Victim's advocacy group) and to review the Catholic Diocese of Victoria's policy on handling child sex abuse cases.
This SAME POSITION Under Sam Eyre seems now to be just the opposite.
To quote Tyler: "He was hired as an experienced law enforcement officer."
And... "he couldn't move Eyre to another position because each job in his office requires specific skills."
So which is it Mr. Tyler?
Is your Chief of staff just an officer manager with no access to case files, or a law enforcement position not suited to other office manager type work?
You have either lying to us now, or you lied to us about Ratcliff.
Which is it?
Victoria deserves to know!
The problem with lying Mr. Tyler, is that it becomes more and more difficult to keep your lies straight and sooner or later you are caught.
Oh and another thing for the folks of Victoria to ponder.
Tyler held up the Buchanek case as an example of how terrible the Victoria police department is and yet Tyler has nothing but praise for one of the Victoria Police officers who was directly involved with the case. Think about that for a sec.
TYLER: "I'm not going to willy-nilly get rid of an employee and destroy his chances of future employment."
Yet Carlos Echeverry, who was found not guilty, REPEAT NOT GUILTY, by jury trial, has been hounded by Tyler. Tyler even after losing the case against Echeverry has pursued getting TCLEOSE to pull Echeverry's Texas Peace Officer's License.
TYLER: "Eyre can no longer do investigative work because the job could land him on the witness stand. Doing so would leave Eyre vulnerable to cross-examination about his role in the civil lawsuit."
Sound familiar folks?
It should!
Anyone remember months of Tyler's refusal to recuse himself from the trial of his previous office manager? No conflict of interest he says in the face of blatant conflict of interest.
And later with the trials against the four city officials and employees where he was named as a witness yet refused to step aside?

Tyler is a disgrace to the legal profession. His Ego is larger than the state of Texas. Tyler needs to go.
I may be a Conservative, But Deborah Branch, the Democratic candidate has my vote.
Well, Deborah Branch is not a Democrat, so that may make you even. She's just running on the Democrat ticket.
