E. GRADY JOLLY, Circuit Judge,
specially concurring:
I concur in the result reached in this case because the conduct of the employer in attempting to set up a totally innocent employee as a target for a criminal charge, simply because she opposed a blatantly illegal employment practice, is so outrageous and extremely rare, that I do not consider this opinion to open the door for a body of new law in the workplace. If I thought so, I would not extend this nascent cause of action into the field of employee-employer relations. If it were to be done, I would let the Texas courts do it.
