Appeals court drops defunct rape charge
United Press International
AUSTIN-The Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals Wednesday or
dered the dismissal of an aggravated
rape charge against Scottie Gene
Ward of Orange County because
prosecutors waited more than three
years to bring the charge against
him.
The rape allegedly occurred on
March 14, 1974, but the indictment
against Ward was not presented
until July 6, 1977 - more than three
years and three months after the al
leged crime.
At the time, the statute of limita
tions on such an offense was one
year, the appeals court said.
“The indictment in the instant
case, introduced into evidence by
the state, was clearly presented be
yond the time allowed by the sta
tute,” the appeals court said.
The appellate court also rejected
an apparent attempt by prosecutors
to overcome the one-year limita-

tions barrier by including in the in
dictment a complaint filed injustice
court against Ward on the day of the
alleged rape.
Judge Leon Douglas dissented,
contending the justice court com
plaint did extend the statute of limi
tations.
“The majority fears that to permit
the filing of a complaint in a justice
court to toll after the running of the
statute could allow a felony charge
to burden an accused during the
remainder of his life,” Douglas said
in a seven-page dissenting opinion.
“But there is no vested right to
escape from prosecution; statutes of
limitation are acts of grace, a sur
rendering by the sovereign of its
right to prosecute,” he said.
“Moreover, the accused can protect
himself from the danger that the sta
tute will be tolled by demanding a
hearing. ”
In other cases, the appeals court:
Denied a request for release
from prison by Alfredo A. Garcia Jr.
of Cameron County, who was sen
tenced to life for possession of
firearms by a felon. The appeals
court had affirmed the conviction of
Garcia on June 4, 1975, and he had
