Murder trial
defense asks
bond release
in document
United Press International
FORT WORTH — The defense
in the T. Cullen Davis murder trial
has decided to push to get the de
fendant released on bond, using a
113-page document of sensational,
but unsubstantiated allegations.
Those charges likely will force the
trial to a new locale.
Davis is charged with shooting
and killing his 12-year-old step
daughter.
His application for release on
bond contains allegations of drug
dealing, threats and violence at the
10,000-square foot mansion months
prior to the August slaying of
Andrea Wilborn and Stan Farr.
The writ also alleges or suggests:
— That Davis’ estranged wife,
Priscilla said she could make $10
million from the murders if Cullen
Davis were convicted.
— That Mrs. Davis was deeply
involved with drugs including
cocaine, marijuana, heroin and al
cohol.
— That Gus Gavrel Jr., who was
wounded by the assailant as he
walked in the mansion driveway
with his date, asked an ambulance
driver to dispose of two bags of
marijuana while enroute to the hos
pital.
— That Gavrel’s father told his
son to identify Davis as the man
who shot him.
— That Gavrel stated to more
than one person he did not know
who shot him.
— That the murder weapon has
never been found.
The most crucial document to the
defense is an unsigned statement
which Richard “Racehorse”
Haynes claims to have obtained
from David McCrory, a longtime
friend of Mrs. Davis.
The statement, which is neither
sworn to nor notarized, describes an
incident in which a boyfriend of
Mrs. Davis threatened to kill her. It
claims she traveled across the coun
try with a man identified as a defen
dant in a drug possession case and
cities their alleged use of narcotics
and alcohol in the Davis mansion.
Tarrant County District Attorney
Tim Curry, who successfully op
posed Davis’ attempt last year to be
freed on bond, said the McCrory
statement was of little legal value.
Haynes said he included the
statement because McCrory said it
was accurate even though he re
fused to sign it.
