HOI SION — The parents of a
teenage murder suspect refused for

David Port. 17. is t harged with
murder in the June 7 shooting death
of letter earner Debot a Sue Schatz,
23. He remains free on $20,000
bond.
Stale District Judge- I.D. Me Mas
ter. who ordered Bernard and
Odette Port to testify, said he would
schedule a hearing to have the Ports
explain why they should not be held
in contempt — and possibly jailed
again — for refusing to testify.
"What these parents are going
through is mind-ouggiuig,” said de
fense attorney RandvSchaffer "The
state u asking this court to compel
the parents to do the impossible —to
sacrifice thetr child.”
The Ports tlaim Texas law pro
vides a privilege in which parents
cannot be forced to testify against
their children, much like a husband
wife privilege in which spouses can
not testify against each other in most
cases.
However, Me Master said there is
no such provision under Texas law
and refused to gram a defense mo

Schaffer said he expected the le

previous appeal, with the matter
winding up before a state appeals
court.
**1 think it will be a carbon copy of

The Ports previously refused to

investigation and on June 27, a
judge held them in contempt of

However, the Texas Cosm of

turned the contempt order on a le

judge should have found the couple

contempt of a district court.

“It would be nice to know where
