Despite a massive manhunt, Texas officials have still not apprehended -- nor even identified -- the shooter of a female state court judge Friday night.
Former prosecutor Julie Kocurek remains hospitalized this weekend with nonfatal bullet wounds she received after she was attacked outside her home by an unknown gunman.
She serves as a justice for the 390th district in Travis County and was originally appointed to that post by ex governor Bush in 1999.
No motive is known for her attempted assassination, but Judge Kocurek was on the bench at the time of disgraced governor Rick Perry’s felony indictment for abuse-of-power in 2014.
Perry issued a thinly veiled threat to the members of that grand jury which Kocurek condemned him for; in her admonishment reminding the powerful defendant that “no one is above the law.”
She’s also adjudicating the case of Debra Baker’s accused killer Mark Norwood, who, with the aid of a crooked district attorney in the late 1980s, saw another man wrongfully jailed for decades in the slaying of Christine Morton.
In short, Texas state court judge Julie Kocurek has made a few enemies throughout her tenure, although which one wanted her dead the most remains a mystery at the moment.
