They say a picture is worth a thousand words and there it is.
The man who says he has been putting criminals in prison since 1996 must know that it is also a crime to waste taxpayer's money by being asleep on the job.

The portly barrister who is running against Luis Saenz for Cameron County District Attorney got caught napping in an empty courtroom by an unknown photographer. This happened before he was shunted off to San Benito after the cantankerous candidate got to be a pain with his underlings who refused to sing the praises about his candidacy. While there he was a constant no-show to the point that his boss put him on leave without pay.
He, of course, called it pure politics. But pictures don't lie and we promise we didn't Photoshop this.
But after months of grumbling from those who had to work around him, the The DA's Office placed Mattingly, once its its top prosecutor, on leave just a scant two weeks before the election.
There's even a rumor that he has been terminated, which we can't confirm.
DA's Office spokesman Jason Moody confirmed that Mattingly, a Republican, was placed on leave from his job , but said at the time that Mattingly is still an employee with the office.
Rumors have run rampant throughout the campaign of Mattingly's absence from his position after he was sent to San Benito because of his "disruptive" behavior with his underlings. Some even claimed that Chuck would grow irate if the DA's staff would not support him politically.

Staff members also grumbled about his extended absence from the office after he broke his leg. His being placed on leave without pay now frees him to campaign without pretense of holding down his job.
Sweet dreams, Chuck.
Sweet dreams, Chuck.
