Dallas County judge creating court for troubled veterans
Hoppe reports:
AUSTIN – Soldiers who survive combat only to fall into addiction, depression, rage - and, sometimes, criminal behavior - will have their own court in Dallas County, starting next month.
State District Judge Mike Snipes of Dallas attended training in Austin today to handle a new docket devoted to veterans.
If he can, he’s going to get them into a Veterans Administration bed instead of a prison bed.
“The veterans have unique problems that come from their service - not only in Iraq and Afghanistan. There’s still some from Vietnam,” Snipes said.
