Critics accuse San Antonio Councilman Manny Pelaez of U-turn on justice reform
District 8 Councilman and potential mayoral candidate Manny Pelaez is facing accusations of hypocrisy from online critics — including a council colleague — after telling the San Antonio Report he thinks the city should help petty criminals expunge their records. Pelaez was arrested and charged with misdemeanor theft in 2011 on accusations he tried to steal goods from the H-E-B grocery in Leon Springs, he said in an interview with the online news site. The councilman said the DA's office threw out the charge, which has since been expunged.
