Basically, they've got nothing without a positive test result.

I think the more significant question is: if the DA is convinced Peterson smoked weed after agreeing to the terms of his bail, why did he file a motion on the basis of a third party's statement about something Peterson allegedly told him instead of just waiting for positive test results (ie: actual evidence)?

He was arrested for a crime, posted bail, they gave him a form stating what he was not able to do while he was waiting for his trial (including not using drugs that were not legal in the state of texas). He signed it. And then used an illegal substance. And is apparently going to test positive for it.

But your non-existent situation is perfectly reasonable situation that happens all the time, damn the justice system!

More likely you have someone who gets charged, pays a lawyer, pays his bail, and despite doing something that's clearly and obviously wrong/illegal, gets off with a slap on the wrist...

A Texas judge swept aside a possible block Wednesday to a Dec. 1 trial for Minnesota Vikings MVP Adrian Peterson’s felony child abuse case.

Retired Texas Judge Jeff Walker declined the prosecution’s request to take Judge Kelly Case off the case.

Texas prosecutors also are seeking to revoke Peterson’s $15,000 bond because he admitted before a drug test two weeks ago to “smoking a little weed.” Results of the ensuing drug test have not yet been made public.

Now that Case’s status as the presiding judge is settled, he can conduct a hearing on the bond revocation. Hardin said no date has yet been selected for that hearing.

Previously, a pretrial hearing date was tentatively set for Nov. 4, with the topics undetermined.
