District Judge Filemon Vela night the day-and-a-half old trial ian abrupt halt by granting defense tons for a directed verdict of in rent on grounds the government led to prove guilt. [‘(The defendents) may have dated consumer law when they ded turtle meat as fish fillets to get last inspectors,” Vela said. “But where the government failed was that it did not show the meat was from the Pacific Ridley, an animal protected by the endangered species act.” Vela also was critical of Justice De partment prosecutor Jose Toro, saying the case was “very, very weak. ” He added that what evidence there was had not been presented “in such a way that’s understand able.” On trial were Pat Leroy Pace, owner of Pace Fish Co. Inc. of Brownsville, and seafood distributor Ben Soloff of Philadelphia, Pa., own er of Ben Soloff Inc. In the first case brought to trial from a special Justice Department task force investigation, government agents claimed Pace and Soloff im ported and sold 17,377 pounds of meat from the Ridley sea turtles. Pace, whose family sat through the trial, said he was pleased with the judge’s ruling. “I’m very happy,” he said. “I’m glad justice is done.” The judge’s action means Pace and Soloff are cleared of all charges in the case. Prosecutors have the right to appeal but there was no indication if there would be one. “I’m disappointed,” Toro said. “These cases are hard to try. But the task forces are going to continue. We ll just have to tighten our belts and do it better next time.” United Press International AUSTIN — The 3rd Court of Civil Appeals Wednesday upheld a lower court decision ordering that Dr. Floyd Martine’s position as a te nured faculty member at Southwest Texas State University be reinstated.
