Sanity hearing ends
with lawyer dispute
Page 6
THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1974
HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) — A san
ity hearing for a youth accused of
four of the 27 deaths known as the
Houston mass murders abruptly
ended Monday when the
defendant’s two lawyers quit in a
dispute over legal strategy.
Lawyers for David Owen Brooks,
19, were close mouthed about the
three-sided dispute but statements
they did give indicated a disagree
ment over a decision by lawyer Ted
Musick to plead insanity in the case.
Musick and Elaine Hocker were
granted permission by District
Court Judge William Hatten to
withdraw from Brook’s case as the
court appointed lawyers.
Jim Skelton, 36, a Houston
lawyer, told reporters he had talked
with Alton Brooks, the defendant’s
father, and would take over the
case. He said Mrs. Hocker, who
disagreed with Musick, had agreed
to help represent Brooks privately.
Hatten set a hearing Tuesday
morning, to recognize Skelton and
Mrs. Hocker as private lawyers for
Brooks.
Hatten had set aside this week to
pick a jury to decide if Brooks is
mentally competent to assist in his
defense. Musick has maintained his
client is now insane and was so in
the summer of 1973 when the
bodies of 27 teen-aged males Were
dug up in three locations in and
around Houston. Brooks led police
to one of those grave sites.
After resigning from the case,
Musick said, “There’s a basic disag
reement between me, the boy and
the boy’s father. We’ve been travel
ing down one for a year now, and
now they want to take another.”
Musick has been on the case since
it started. Mrs. Hocker was ap
pointed last month to assist him.
Judge Hatten said she also disag
reed with Mustek’s strategy.
Skelton, who has been practicing
law here about seven years, told re
porters he does not believe his
client is insane. He said that Judge
Hatten had indicated to him that a
competency hearing might not be
necessary if Skelton objected.
Skelton also said that Mrs.
Hocker had also been hired by the
Brooks family and would join him in
defending Brooks.
Don Lambright, the assistant dis
trict attorney prosecuting the case,
argued against the change of
lawyers.
“We have a real strange situation
when a defendant they are alleging
to be incompetent is determining
who his lawyers should be,” Lam
bright said.
Lambright, who also helped pro
secute a second defendant in the
case, Elmer Wayne Henley, 18,
said he expected a mental compe
tency hearing will still be held. He
said anytime the defendant’s mental
competency is raised, a judge must
determine it before a full trial can be
held.
Henley and Brooks were charged
by police with helping to procure
teen-aged boys for Dean A. Corll,
33. Corll was shot to death by Hen
ley during a sex party in 1973. Hen
ley was convicted on six counts of
murder in a trial earlier this year in
San Antonio and received 594 years
in prison.
At Henley’s trial, his statement
was read telling how youths lured to
the Corll home were homosexually
raped, tortured and murdered.
Lambright said any new lawyer
hired by Brooks woidd have a
minimum of 10 days to get ready for
the competency hearing. But the
prosecutor said he felt it would
probably be near Christmas before
such a hearing is held.
Musick had indicated that if
Brooks were found sane, he might
advise his client to accept a state
offer and plead guilty to one count of
murder and receive a 99-year sen
tence.
Skelton said he plans to try the
case and would like to hold it in
Houston. The trial of Henley was
transfered to San Antonio by Judge
Hatten over defense protests.
Lambright said he thinks the
judge will also transfer Brooks’ case
from Houston because of wide
spread publicity here.
“If we can determine competency
and get the venue changed before
Christmas, we could go to trial in
February or March,” Lambright
said.
Musick said he had to resign the
case because of urgings by the
defendant’s father to change the
way it was being handled.
“I feel I’m right, Musick said. “I
feel the strategy I outlined was cor
rect.”

A&M film story contracted,
to appear on 1976 state TV
A California film company.
Cinema Independent Artists (CIA),
will produce a documentary on
Texas A&M for use in its centennial
in 1976.
Roger Miller, coordinator for the
year-long observance, said a camera
crew will be on campus later this
month to start filming student ac
tivities. The crew will arrive in time
to cover the Rice football game
weekend and remain through Bon
fire.
Plans call for a film suitable for
use iu a 30-minute television slot,
with a statewide premiere tenta
tively set for Muster (April 21) in
1976.
The documentary is envisioned as
a presentation depicting TAMU’s
past, present and future impact on
the state and nation. Miller said.
Emphasis will be placed on the
teaching, research and public ser
vice programs.
Arrangements for the film were
made through the Association of
Former Students. Film companies
from throughout the nation were
invited to submit proposals.
CIA, based in Hollywood, has
handled several major productions,
including films for the National
Football League and the “60 Mi
nutes” program on CBS.
Officials of the film company plan
to have crews on campus several
times during the coming year, as
well as at Galveston and other loca
tions where TAMU has major instal
lations, Miller said.
Aggie vet school grads
return, join faculty;
2 leave own practices
Two graduates of Texas A&M’s
veterinary program have returned
to teach at their alma mater.
Drs. John H. Kirk and Donald
McDonald joined the Department
of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery
over the weekend as asst, professors
in the large animal clinic of the Col
lege of Veterinary Medicine.
McDonald came from private
practice in Big Spring while Kirk
returned after practicing in Bon-
duel, VVis.
The two graduated a year apart
from the school that is one of the
nation’s leaders. McDonald at
tained his degree in 1965, one year
after Kirk was awarded his docto
rate.
