COLLEGE STATION 696-5719 state Battalion/Pagi, September 2, 1 Inmate faces life sentence United Press International AUSTIN — A prosecutor in the trial of prison reform activist David Ruiz finished his closing arguments Wednesday and the jury was expected to begin de liberating after the defense com pleted its arguments. Ruiz, a former Texas Depart ment of Corrections inmate who successfully sued the state over prison conditions, is accused in a November 1981 Austin tavern robbery. Ruiz has claimed he is the victim of a conspiracy by TDC because of his involvement in the prison case. But Assistant Travis County District Attorney Curt Beckcom called Ruiz’s argument a “smoke screen.” “There has been enough smoke blown though this cour troom in the last month to con fuse anybody,” Beckcom said. “I hope you can see through it.” Beckcom said Ruiz has been unable to cope with the decline of his fame since leaving prison and characterized him as a man who “is not happy unless he is a martyr, an underdog and in volved in some kind of trouble.” “David Ruiz is a paradox,” he said.
