HOUSTON — A federal judge
Wednesday imposed a maximum 10-
year prison sentence on a Texas Ran
ger convicted of civil rights violations
in the beating of a handcuffed man.
Officials said Ranger Kenneth
Wayne Fricke, 35, who has appealed
his conviction, was the first Texas
Ranger convicted of a felony. He has
been suspended from the force.
U.S. District Judge Woodrow
Seals’ sentencing of Fricke followed
his jury conviction Aug. 5 of civil
rights violations in beating a Sealy,
Texas, railroad engineer Feb. 26,
1979, near Wallis.
Prosecutors said Fricke was a De
partment of Public Safety narcotics
investigator when he took Larry
Michael Hintz, 28, in handcuffs from
a Wallis bar to a field to “teach him a
lesson.” Hintz suffered a broken
jaw.

percent, the jj [The company said the investiga-
n revealed sexual promiscuity
with subordinate employees and
false expense reports on the part of
both executives.
The lawsuit also charged the com
pany with the wrongful death of Gra
vitt. His widow said the investiga
tions and the slanders against him
caused him to go insane and kill him
self.
The trial court ruled for Ashley
and Gravitt’s widow and awarded
them damages of $1.5 million each.
Then the Court of Civil Appeals
ruled that the company’s behavior
toward its executives was not moti
vated by “actual malice,” that is, the
company was not guilty of knowing
falsity or reckless disregard for the
truth. Ashley and Gravitt’s widow
were therefore not entitled to dam
ages.
It was that opinion that the Sup
reme Court declined to review.
State law permits appeal of slander
cases to the Supreme Court only
when there is conflict among the
appeals courts or between an appeals
court and the Supreme Court. The
Supreme Court found that it had no
jurisdiction.
