tate THE BATTALION Page 7 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1981 aniel waived rights in trial, judge says United Press International f JLIBERTY — The judge presid- ng in the Vickie Daniel case Tues- at Ben Tj jgy denied a defense motion to ■allow previous court testi- roan amAny, which was obtained during istolenlejlchikl custody battle, about the illy AiBjoting of her husband, former RosalesBjuse Speaker Price Daniel Jr. in tkreM ■ State District Jttdge Leonard le P'^BblinJr. of Beaumont ruled that outside,D an i e l waived her Fifth ' empliMjaendment right against self- a les«" i, rT j m i n ati on in the child custody hearing earlier this year she did it voluntarily. “The court (judge) has decided the Fifth Amendment waiver was a free, voluntary, knowing and in telligent waiver,” Giblin said. The testimony from the cus tody battle, which led to Daniel’s being allowed to keep custody of her two sons by Price Daniel, de tailed the shooting death. Daniel had said that she had no choice but to testify during the six-week court fight to keep cus tody of her two sons. In the cus tody battle, she testified that she accidentally shot her husband. Her lawyer. Jack Zimmerman, wanted to block the testimony from her murder trial that is ex pected to begin today before an eight-man, four -woman jury. Giblin also planned to hear more pre-trial motions Tuesday including a defense motion to sup- ress statements that Daniel made to law enforcement officers follow ing the shooting. Price Daniel, 39, son of former Texas Gov. Price Daniel Sr., was killed in the couple’s ranch home following an argument in January. Daniel had filed for divorce from her husband only weeks before the shooting. According to previous court testimony, the Daniels were fight ing because she refused to sign a divorce settlement document without her attorney present. Mrs. Daniel told Giblin Mon day she testified in the earlier civil case about the shooting only be cause she feared losing her two children to her sister-in-law, Jean Daniel Murph of Richardson. She said she was told by her attorney Richard “Racehorse” Haynes that if she did not waive her right and testify, her chances of losing the boys increased im mensely. Haynes was called as a witness Monday, along with the judge who presided over the custody trial. Haynes said if he had to do it all over again, “I’d do it the same way.” Daniel’s right to a fair trial would be violated if the state uses her statements from the previous trial in her murder case, Zimmer man said Monday. “There was no threat by anyone in authority to coerce the defen- dent (Daniel) to testify against her will,” District Attorney Wilborn said. “The waiver of her Fifth Amendment right (to self incrimination) has been shown to be voluntarily made.” Quirks in the news Actor sends flowers to jailers SAFEWAY Ml PRICES IN THIS ADVERTISEMENT EFFECTIVE (7) SEVEN DATS!
