" MURPHY, Texas - A sting in which police teamed up with "Dateline NBC"
to catch online pedophiles was supposed to send a flinty-eyed,
Texas-style warning about this Dallas suburb: Don't mess with Murphy.
" Instead, it has turned into a fiasco.
" One of the 25 men caught in the sting -- a prosecutor from a
neighboring county -- committed suicide when police came to arrest
him. The Murphy city manager who approved the operation lost his job
in the ensuing furor.
" And the district attorney is refusing to prosecute any of the men,
saying many of the cases were tainted by the involvement of amateurs."
