Miguel De Los Autos Orihuela, 44, was arraigned on the charge before Peace Justice Ed Sarabia and one of his associates, Ofelia Rodriguez. Rodriguez, 34, of Coahuila, Mexico, was arraigned on a charge of delivering a dangerous drug to an undercover agent for the State Board of Pharmacy on June 24. Orihuela has been jailed in lieu of bond since June 24 when he was charged with injuring another child during delivery at his clinic lo cated next door to the pharmacy he operates. His wife, Linda Joyce, 29, also has been accused of practicing medicine without a license and is free on $1,500 personal recognizance bond. The formal charge alleged that Orihuela, a native of Puerto Rico, injected Genoveva Rodriguez with an unknown substance to induce delivery of her baby, Cesaria Escobedo Rodriguez, on April 14. The baby, allegedly delivered prematurely, died three days later. Ms, Rodriguez, who led a protest of Orihuela’s arrest outside the Cameron County Jail last month, was charged with delivering the nonprescribable drug Darvocent-N, a pain killer, to undercover agent Gary Adcock in a transaction negotiated by Orihuela. The pharmacist-midwife earlier had been charged with delivering the drug, also. At the request of defense attorney Hector Uribe, news cameras were kept out of yesterday’s arraignment proceeding after Orihuela told the judge, “I don’t feel I would get a fair trial in this county, with all this publicity for sure. Prosecutor Joe Hendley vigorously objected to Sarabia’s limiting picture taking at the court. “This is a free country and the people have a right to be informed about what’s going on at their own courthouse, ” Hendley argued. “Our position is, your honor, that if the public wants to know they have a right to know. They have the same opportunity that everybody else has to come to this courthouse. No one is excluding them from this courthouse. Our only objection is to the cameras being in the proceed ings. I think it leads to pretrial publicity and it makes it much more difficult for this man to get a fair trial in Cameron County, ” Uriba said. “He can get a fair trial in this county, right before he goes to the Will There Be Blood If You Need It?

Yarbrough, the first Texas Supreme Court justice ever to be indicted for criminal activities, yesterday said he had made mistakes and sinned “against my God and against the people” who elected him. But Yarbrough in an emotional af ternoon news conference stopped short of resigning his $48,700 a year seat on the state’s highest court. I did make a mistake,” said the Houston attorney. “I did sin against my Cod and against the people who elected me as their servant. I offer no justification nor excuse for in deed there can be none.” Yarbrough, 35, said he wanted to apologize and ask forgiveness from the Texas voters. I have asked my God through the power of Jesus Christ to forgive me and I know in a very glorious way that he has forgiven me,” he said. Yarbrough was indicted last week for forging auto title papers and lying to county officials. His name also has been associated with an al leged murder plot in Houston. Yarbrough denied any plans to have a business associate murdered. I want to say that I never in tended that anyone be harmed. I don’t think Mr. John VV.

Rothkopf, a former business as sociate, secretly tape recorded meetings with the associate justice in which Yarbrough allegedly plot ted to murder a former banking as sociate. Those allegations were released by Houston District Attorney Carol Vance, but were not taken before the grand jury. Vance sail! no crimi nal charges could be bought against Yarbrough since the associate jus tice backed out at the last moment and no money changed hands. Yarbrough had refused to talk to reporters or make any comment fol lowing his indictment Thursday by the Travis County Grand Jury. The grand jury said Yarbrough forged Alabama title papers to a 1974 Chevrolet and lied under oath about asking a former business as sociate to sign the name of another man to the document. Yarbrough dismissed initial re ports of the allegations as “fabrica tions” and swore there was no truth to the charges when he appeared before the Travis County Grand Jury a week ago. A State Bar grievance committee added the solicitation of murder charge to an 84-count disbarment suit scheduled for trial Aug. 1. T he Judicial (Qualifications Commission initiated proceedings Saturday to remove the justice from office.
