No Date Set For DA Chuck Rosenthal's Contempt Hearing

Attorneys for Chuck Rosenthal abruptly halted a contempt hearing Friday after Harris County's district attorney acknowledged giving conflicting sworn statements that some observers think exposed him to possible perjury charges.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt granted the request for a recess and admonished lawyers on both sides against discussing the case with reporters. Hoyt did not say when the hearing, which has already taken up the better part of two days, might resume.
