Will Tom Delay be handcuffed and fingerprinted?

[rwork]

Is this the procedure they always follow when someone is indicted? Would'nt that be great?

1. If he is

Could somebody post pictures on the site? I would totally print them out and frame them.

13. Photoshop?

[tompayne1]

15. now one of him getting cornholed

maybe.....

[Skink]

2. His fingerprints are already on file....

I would asume.

[Walt Starr]

3. He must be fingerprinted and photographed

and the mug shots will be on the internet within minutes of them being taken. Count on it.

4. Yes

It's standard procedure when someone is indicted.

[peekaloo]

5. lol....."turn to the left".....

:D

do you suppose he'll smile for his mugshot?

[spindrifter]

6. He also gets to provide a biological sample

so he can get into the FBI DNA records.

[mopaul]

7. but of course

and i hope they televise it repeatedly

[PsN2Wind]

8. AND, We can hope

cavity searched!!!!

9. I wouldn't have thought handcuffed.

It's not like he's going to run away.

I remember that a few years ago a senior British politician (can't remember the details) was arrested following some allegations (which were later proved false, f.w.i.w.); the police actually made an appointment with his lawyer for a time when he would present himself at a police-station so that he could be formally arrested.

Fingerprinting is a standard part of being arrested though.

10. He's certainly a long way from this pic...

Don't think he'll be smoking any more Cuban stogies for a while!...

[tigersumtin]

12. He won't be puffin on stogies

He should be very popular with in the prison population. Im sure he will find something to puff on.

[Caution]

11. He'll be fingerprinted and have hismug shot taken

I don't know about Texas law regarding a DNA sample. The poster above is incorrect re: DNA sample to FBI, that is only for federal indictments which this was not.

I agree with Walt Starr re: mug shots on the internet. I can't wait to see em!

He will almost definitely NOT be handcuffed.

14. Keep watching this link!

His mug shot will be here shortly. You can also read the complete indictment:

16. No handcuffs, No jail unless convicted.

In cases like this papers are served to his attorney, an appointment is made for him to be processed (fingerprints & mug shot) at a police station, then he will be released pending trial.

He will have to be found guilty for him to serve prison time.
