1979 against Tarrant County Dis
trict Attorney Tim Curry seeking a
court order for the exhumation.
Eddowes this month lost a second
battle in Fort Worth to have Os
wald’s grave opened and is expected
to appeal it. However, Wednesday’s
ruling does not concern this most
recent legal rejection.
In the first suit a district court
ruled in favor of Curry saying Ed
dowes was not a relative of Oswald
and had no justifiable interest in the
case.
The Fort Worth Civil Appeals
Court later reversed that decision
and dismissed the suit on grounds
Eddowes had no standing to file the
legal action. The Supreme Court
without written comment Wednes
day upheld the action dismissing
the case.
Official rebukes
riot documentary
United Press International
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Gov. Bruce King Wednesday
criticized an ABC-TV documentary on the brutal February prison
riot saying the program should have emphasized the “positive
aspects” of the state’s penal system.
King said a report on the Feb. 2-3 uprising in which 33 inmates
were killed to be issued Thursday by Attorney General Jeff Bingaman
would set the record straight. He said the attorney general’s
investigation of the riot was done in “much greater depth” than the
program titled “Death in a Southwest Prison.”
King denied one report in the program that he and other state
officials received specific information about the riot before it hap
pened.
“Hardly a day goes by where we don’t receive information about
possible problems at the prison” the governor said.
The governor also said he wanted to leave any personnel changes at
the prison to the discretion of a new corrections secretary who would
be hired by Oct. 15.
Earlier Wednesday King had issued a brief statement saying the
documentary was presented with “an obvious preconceived bias. ”
And when he was asked later what portions of the program he felt
were biased, King said, “What part wasn’t biased?”
“When they said it was prisoner-against-prisoner during the
uprising, that part was factual.”
Bingaman said earlier he generally agreed with conclusions
presented in the documentary. But at the same time, he said it
inaccurately blamed specific officials for problems at the prison.
Following an investigation of the riot which lasted months,
Bingaman said he “couldn’t disagree with the conclusions in the
documentary on the poor condition of our prison system. ”
“I think the basic points they were trying to make about the prison
system being neglected, mismanaged, underfunded and understaffed
were valid points” he said. “In order to make those points I think
they took a few cheap shots at some of the people they interviewed.
“I think the explanation is not as simple as they would have you
believe. They intended to identify particular people in the prison
admnsitration and public office and single them out and say they are
responsible for the mess.
“The truth is that the mess has been there for decades. It is very
difficult to single out people and explain it away on the theory of a few
bad apples.”
At the prison where inmates with television privileges were
allowed to watch the documentary, a minor incident was reported
after the show was aired Tuesday night.
