United Press International
AUSTIN — A former Hopkins
lounty district attorney sentenced
o five years in prison for misusing
;ate funds lost his bid Wednesday to
have his conviction overturned by
the state’s highest criminal appeals
iurt.'
The Texas Court of Criminal Ap-
als upheld the official misconduct
nviction of Jack G. Neal, who was
[Strict attorney in the northeast
'exas county from 1973 to 1976.
Neal was convicted in 1978 of de
positing in his own account a $7,000
state check intended to pay his staff s
salaries. He was sentenced to five
years in prison and five years proba
tion and ordered to pay a $5,000
fine.
Evidence at Neal’s trial showed he
used some of the money for his sec
retary’s salary but also drew checks
on the amount for cash and to pay
non-business expenses.
In an opinion by Judge Tom G.
Davis, the Court of Criminal />-
peals rejected Neal’s contention tat
his conviction should be overtured
because he was forced to act a his
own lawyer at his trial. The ourt
also rejected Neal’s argumentdeal
ing with jury selection and tk trial
judge’s handling of the jury wdict.
In another case, the hio court
upheld a Fort Bend Corny man’s
10-year prison sentence f r posses
sion of more than 4 ouncs of mari
juana, despite one judge’s dissent
that an off-duty Texas Ranger had
no right to search the man’s van.
Robert L. Marsh was arrested af
ter the ranger, who was fishing on
private property, noticed a low-fly
ing plane and several vehicles at a
private landing strip. After the plane
landed and the vehicles began driv
ing away, the ranger stopped a van,
discovered several bales of mari
juana and arrested Marsh.

his underwear with a sexiness that's all girl. There's nothing to get
