SAN ANTONIO In a one-page order issued Wednesday, state district judge Velia Meza denied former attorney Ted Roberts motion seeking judicial clemency, which would have restored his civil rights. I dont have much to say, as I am in a state of shock, Roberts said about the order. But there was no charity, trial testimony revealed. There was evidence that I might have threatened in-person, Ted Roberts testified during a hearing last week. Mary Roberts was given probation.

SAN ANTONIO In the spring of 2007, Ted Roberts and his wife Mary, both attorneys, were convicted in a sex scheme in which they squeezed over $150,000 thousand dollars from four San Antonio men. According to 2007 trial testimony, Mary Roberts would have intimate affairs with the men. There was no charity and the couple would pocket the money, testimony showed. Ted Roberts was convicted of three counts of theft by deception and coercion. Granting judicial clemency would restore Roberts civil rights even though he remains a convicted felon.
