Parker may get outside district judge Un United Press International BEAUMONT — The Jefferson County district attorney said Mon day he expects a judge from outside the 5th Senate District to be ap pointed to hear the perjury and pro motion of prostitution trial of state Sen. Carl Parker. State District Judge Larry Cist Monday disqualified himself from the case because he once was rep resented by one of Parker’s attor neys. Gist removed himself at the re quest of prosecutors, who said they feared a conflict of interest because defense attorney Tom Hanna once represented Gist in a matter involv ing a Galveston County nursing home. District Attorney James McGrath said said he did not believe Gist would be unfair in the trial but said he may fit into a mandatory require ment to excuse himself . McGrath said he feels District Judge Thomas Stovall Jr., who over sees the 2nd Judicial District, will ap point a judge from outside Parker’s Senate district to preside over the trial. Parker, D-Port Arthur, was in dicted for perjury and promotion of prostitution and pornography in September. The indictments stemmed from a police raid at a Port Arthur home owned by Parker in which officers found X-rated video tapes. In a related matter, Hanna last week asked District Judge Jack King to remove himself from overseeing a court of inquiry King orderedt(| vestigate Parker’s claims that! members of the grand jury thaij dieted him were prejudicedbyaj vious case. McGrath said Hanna sincetaj fered to withdraw his request King to step down if the-court of J quiry could be delayed until] Parker's trial. “We’re oppposing that they’ve made some serious lions.” McGrath said. The allegations include di; that Port Arthur police an vestigators intimidated witnts and promised rewards and i grand jury acted out of prejin and bias. Plea changed to guilty in Brownsville murder United Press International EDINBURG — An accused hit man Monday unexpectedly agreed to plead guilty and testify against a pair of Brownsville brothers accused of hiring him to kill their brother-in- law because of a family property dis pute. Testimony in the trial of Wavil Le wis Jr., 23, of Dayton, Ohio, accused of killing Dr. Narciso Cortez for $15,000, was scheduled to begin Monday. But after Lewis agreed to “pro vide all information in his possession dealing with the conspiracy to com mit the murder,” District Judge Dar rell Hester dismissed jurors. In exchange, Lewis will be allowed to plead guilty to murder, instead of capital murder. Had Lewis been convicted of capital murder, he could have been given the death penalty. The prosecution also agreed that Lewis could serve his sentence in an Ohio prison. Cortez was shot to death in the driveway of his Brownsville Aug. 31, 1982. Brothers Dr. Victor Leal, an surgeon, and Ramon Leal, anil ant e agent, are accused of arraij Cortez’s death.
