Former Harris County Assistant District Attorney Sean Teare is under legal scrutiny by his ex-employer for allegedly delivering a pretrial deal to a suspect accused of fleeing the scene of a deadly hit-and-run crash in 2020.– Former Harris County Assistant District Attorney Sean Teare is under legal scrutiny by his ex-employer for allegedly delivering a pretrial deal to a suspect accused of fleeing the scene of a deadly hit-and-run crash in 2020.
In 2021, Mansoor Ali Abbasi was indicted for failing to stop and render aid after he crashed his SUV into Dontrae Broussard on Highway 6. The crash sent Broussard flying into the air and ultimately killed him, according to court documents. Now, more than three years later, the DA’s Office said Teare inappropriately brokered a deal on his last day without going through the proper protocols.
Mitcham said Abbasi’s attorneys wanted to strike two clauses out of the contract, which got the attention of the DA’s Office, which said it immediately turned down the counteroffer because there is no valid pretrial agreement on their end. “All we know is that this is an inappropriate plea bargain offer in our view for this kind of case and none of the protocols were followed and it occurred at a time when the prosecutor was walking out the door. It’s sort of similar to some governor at the last 10 minutes of their office giving pardons out to campaign contributors,” said Mitcham.
