On January 11th 2005, 11 days into his second term of office as
D.A., Richard James (Rick) Roach was arrested in
the courtroom at docket call by agents of the FBI and DEA on charges of
possession of more than one ounce each of methamphetamine and cocaine, along
with various other federal and state charges. On February 7th 2005 Roach
resigned from office. On March 12th 2005, Roach's assistant D.A. Lynn Switzer
was named by Governor Rick Perry to replace Roach. On June 1st 2005 Roach pled
guilty to being a drug addict in possession of firearms and was sentenced to 5
years in federal prison. In the meantime on May 17th 2005 Roach was indicted on
first degree felony state charges of possession of methamphetamine and
separately for possession of cocaine, both charges with intent to distribute,
within 1000 feet of a school zone. If convicted Roach will spend the rest of his
life in prison. On June 21st Roach was indicted for the additional charge of
aggravated perjury for lying about his financial status in a sworn affidavit
requesting appointment of counsel. This charge carries an additional 10 years if
Roach is convicted.
During the investigation and at the sentencing hearing, it was revealed that Roach:
1. Tried to bribe DPS officers by offering them cash and Rolex watches if they would make more
drug and/or money seizures off Interstate 40;
2. Asked DPS officers to wear their state uniforms and work for Roach in their off time;
3. Routinely offered to dismiss drug cases against defendants if they would not contest the
seizures and let Roach keep their drugs and money or:
4. Offer to return a portion of cash seizures if the defendant would not contest the seizure and
let Roach keep the rest;
5. Deposited over 3 million dollars into the County's Drug Forfeiture Fund, would not allow other
office members to access the accounts or information pertaining to the accounts
and:
6. In 2003 the Amarillo offices of DEA and FBI began receiving information which indicated
Roach was embezzling funds from drug forfeiture seizures made by area law
enforcement agencies;
7. Possessed over 35 illegal weapons in his home and office, including two loaded pistols in his
briefcase at the time of his arrest;
8. Possessed child pornography (both male and female) on his home and office computers;
9. Kept a cache of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and syringes in the communal employee toilet
at his D.A. Office in the courthouse;
10. Injected his sexual organ with methamphetamine and levitra, tried to get his office personnel
to have sex with him and made sexual references to their children - a boy aged
15 and a girl aged 13;
11. Was witnessed by his secretary injecting methamphetamine on at least two occasions, once at
his office and again at a private apartment rented by the D.A.'s office and used
by Roach after he left his wife. The latter was recorded on hidden camera
installed by the FBI where Roach was seen injecting a substance into his arm and
telling his secretary it was methamphetamine he was injecting. At the office
Roach's secretary walked in on him as he was removing methamphetamine, a spoon
and a syringe from his office drawer, preparing to use them;
12. Roach then kept the shades to the office drawn, kept the door locked during business hours
and kept the office phone hooked up to an answering machine, in order to screen
calls before he decided whether he would let anyone answer it live (keep in mind
the office of the D.A. is a public office which is supposed to be accessible to
the public during all regular business hours);
13. Roach was given to wild mood swings, had an ungovernable temper, had marked weight loss, a
sallow complexion, mental confusion, was often caught sitting in court repeating
every word spoken by opposing counsel - to the degree that the Judge had to
scold him over it - and was often jittery, disheveled and unable to speak
coherently in complete thoughts;
14. Was caught by his wife smoking crack cocaine in the barn behind his house on at least two
occasions;
Was caught with a sinus spray bottle which bore traces of cocaine. This is a common ploy
utilized by drug addicted attorneys who want to use drugs in open court but, in
a plausible manner. The effects of cocaine are short lived at 10-15 minutes per
snort.
That Roach used a court order to check out of the DPS drug lab 2 lbs of methamphetamine, a
pound of cocaine and ecstasy, which he claimed was to be used for training a
drug dog but to date has ever been returned nor located, indicating Roach used
and sold the drugs. State drug dog handlers say that such huge amounts of drugs
re never used in training the dogs.
One should take careful note of the similarities of these allegations to those made against
Harold Comer when he was D.A. Comer too was caught for personal use of drug
seizure funds (embezzlement and misappropriation) and being a drug user in 1992;
he was forced to resign as D.A. and took a plea bargain. Comer was ordered to pay restitution for the $10,000 the stole
and to pay off his debt to the IRS for tax evasion, as well as to pay
$2,000 of a judgment against 5 counties of the 31st District won by the D.A.'s
investigator Mike Hartsock I in a "whistleblower" lawsuit he filed because Comer
fired him in retaliation for his reporting of Comer's criminal misconduct. Right
down to the nasal spray bottle, these are the illegal "perks" of being a D.A. in
Gray County, Texas. If a D.A. is corrupt like Comer, Mann, Roach and Switzer and, if
that D.A. wants them, as Comer and Roach obviously did. In the 31st Judicial
District's criminalized
politics one hand always washes the other.

"The Visible and the Invisible" is the unfinished manuscript of the 20th century French phenomenologist and postmodern philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The text was published posthumously in 1968. The manuscript reveals central concepts in Maurice Merleau-Ponty's original thought. In his chapter, "The Intertwining-The Chiasm," Maurice Merleau-Ponty introduces the notion of the flesh. Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s flesh embodies the intermingling of the body and mind; the border crossing of Cartesian subject and object dualism. Furthermore, the flesh is a medium of experience which depicts the multi-layered connectedness of entities. The text is of paramount significance and influence to 20th century philosophy.
