Jurors in a high-profile Texas case just got a $27K payout—until the DA’s office moves to shut it down. After charges against ex-officials Robert Chody and Jason Nassour were dropped, a judge approved cash payments to 12 jurors and 2 alternates. But the DA argues the court had no authority to do so once the case was dismissed, calling it a legal overreach. They also claim Texas law doesn’t allow payments for days jurors weren’t actually in court—especially when the payout included time the trial was paused. This is now a fiery legal showdown over who gets paid and how much.
