The word "bravery" usually doesn’t come to mind when a Texan is appointed to a political office by the governor. But that word seems appropriate when applied to Erleigh Norville Wiley. Gov. Rick Perry on April 10 named her as the new Kaufman County district attorney.
Wiley replaces Mike McLelland, who was slain on March 30 along with his wife Cynthia inside their home near Forney. Two months earlier, Mark Hasse, a Kaufman County assistant district attorney, was fatally shot while walking from the employee parking lot to work.
