22. This is how law enforcement officers are corrupted

Sat Feb 2, 2013, 01:01 PM

Hasse, like other prosecutors in the office, would be handling nearly 400 cases at a time, and it would be tough to determine a likely suspect from all the cases he'd prosecuted, Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLellan said at the news conference.

Over-worked and underpaid.

. . . Hasse as a jokester and the office's premier storyteller; he had recently bought a house in the Kaufman area and was preparing to fix it up. "He had an absolute passion for putting away bad guys, and he liked nothing better," McLelland said.

Maybe Hasse wouldn't take bribes and payoffs so he had to be killed.
