TYLER — Attorneys represent
ing mentally retarded Texans living
in state schools plan to ask a federal
judge Monday to order at least 713
residents released.
The attorneys contend the Texas
Department of Mental Health and
Mental Retardation is not complying
with a settlement to a 1974 lawsuit
calling for sweeping reforms in the
care of the mentally retarded.
The July 1983, settlement grant
ing retarded people the right to the
“least restrictive living conditions
possible” and calls for many state
school residents to be moved to com
munity centers.
The request has the support of
Linda O’Neall, a Florida sociologist
appointed by U.S. District Judge
William Wayne Justice of Tyler to
monitor the reforms.
She said she will ask the judge to
find TDMHMR in contempt of
court for not living up to the terms
of the settlement. Also, she will ask
the department be ordered to reas
sign a number of mentally retarded
clients to the community centers.
The mental health agency has
asked the state Legislature lo pro
vide $24 million so it can reduce the
13 state schools’ population by 600
residents by 1987. State schools cur
rently house more than 9,000 men
tally retarded people.
O’Neall, however, said she is skep
tical of the department’s plan.
While Justice considers the re
quest to release some of the residents
of state schools, the debate over the
benefits of large institutions contin
ues.
John Lelsz of Galveston, the fa
ther of one of the original plaintiffs
in the suit, said his mentally retarded
son’s condition began to aeteriorate
after he was place in the Austin State
School in 19b3.
“Within two weeks he was se
riously ill and out of control," said
Lelsz, whose 32-year-old son spent
22 years in the school but now lives
at home. “He was denied the oppor
tunity to do what he had been
taught.”
The elder Lelsz said he and
wile, Ruth, are trying “to takethe J:
stitution” out of his son.
"The institution has lessen
John’s potential,” Lelsz said. “Weu'
trying to build that back."
But Rix Rutland, a San Antoni
attorney and father of an ad
larded son, said he thinks oef
schools in Texas provided excefc
care.
Rutland, whose son lives in
San Antonio State School, is hea
the 3,000-member Parents' Assod
don for the Retarded of Texas.
He said he believes communt
centers are dangerous and he ha
collected clips of mentally ill dient
who died in fires at group home
across the country.
However, Carmen Quesada,!
rector of the Association for Re
tarded Citizens of Texas, said a®
munity homes help the mental
retarded develop betttt
relationships with others beaus
they house smaller groups.
Stalled cases let death row
inmates avoid execution
Associated Press
HOUSTON — An East Texas dis
trict attorney says he favors the
death penalty. But his frustration in
trying to get Harvey Earvin put to
death for a 1976 slaying has per
suaded him that a life sentence with
out parole — if there really were
such a thing — would be better.
Earvin killed 75-year-old Ertis
Brock during a robbery at a Lufkin
service station on Dec. 7, 1976. But
although he has been on Texas’
death row for 7 1 /2 years, he has
never faced an execution date, the
Houston Post reported.
‘'The death penalty, as it
exists today, is a joke. ” —~
Gerald Goodwin, the An
gelina County district at
torney.
found he was a continuing threalli
society. Earvin was remorseb
cocky, joked about his crime ani
while in jail, set fire to one mia
older man and struck anotk
according to testimony.
“The death penalty, as it exists to
day, is ajoke,” said Gerald Goodwin,
the Angelina County district attor
ney.
Goodwin said he feels that way be
cause the process takes so long and
costs so much and courts bounce
cases back and forth like a pingpong
ball as lawyers play “constitutional
games.”
He was convicted again, sen
tenced to death again, and the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals got his
case again. Oral arguments were
held July 18, 1979. Court officials
will not reveal which judge has the
case or how close it is to being de
cided, the Post said.
Bird, while refusing an interview,
did respond with a letter, the news
paper said.
The Texas Court of Criminal Ap|
peals affirmed his conviction Jai
10, 1979. On Oct. 15, 1979, theUi
Supreme Court declined to reviol
the case. On Nov. 13, 1979, Jusiisj
Lewis Powell issued an order siiii
pending the court action. OnDecJl
1979, the court again declinedtoit!
view the case.
put
pressing the case on Goodwin sii
m Texas, the local district attorney^
The Post also detailed the cases of
several other men who have never
had execution dates set or whose ap
peals have languished for years with
no apparent activity.
The newspaper said it asked for
interviews with death row inmates
whose cases appear to have “fallen
through the cracks,” but that all de
clined.
Bird wrote that he does not write
the judges “or bother them in any
way, as the longer they take to do
anything the better it may be for me
and I ask all not to bother them ei
ther. I hope that you get my
point!!!”
responsible for handling capiial
cases in state courts and the Tea 1
attorney general’s office is responsi
ble for handling federal actions.
Defense attorneys weren’t eager
to talk, either.
“I don’t really want to get this
damn thing stirred,” Douglas
Tinker, Bird’s attorney, told the
Post.
However, both Goodwin and tin
Angelina County district clerk saj
they do not have anything in the«
files about the last action by theS»
preme Court.
Among them was Jerry Joe Bird,
one of five men on death row when
he got there 10!/2 years ago and now
one of 197. The Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals got his case, for
the second time, in 1979. It’s still
there, the Post said.
Bird was convicted of murdering
a Harlingen area gun collector dur
ing a Jan. 12, 1974 robbery. The vic
tim also was burned. However, a
new trial was ordered because a
prosecutor commented about the
failure of Bird to testify.
Earvin’s attorney, Don Duran,
said he wondered what had hap
pened with his client’s case, but
never asked. Did he fear an inquiry
would get the execution effort
started? “Maybe ... probably,” Duran
replied.
Another death row inmate f«
whom the Post said no executiot
date has been set is John Charle
Zimmerman, convicted in Octote
1977 of killing his niece, Ramoit
Abner.
In Earvin’s case, the Post said,
both the state and Angelina County
thought the other was handling the
case.
A new trial was ordered after ret
elations that Zimmerman had befi
tortured into confessing by Jacinto
City officers. He received a new trial
— and another death sentence-i«
October 1979. No execution datt
has ever been set.
Earvin was just 19 when he was
convicted in Lufkin. Though he had
no previous convictions, the jury
Zimmerman’s appeal was notsutr
milled to the Court of Criminal Ap
peals until January, when oralargit
ments were held. The reasonfortkt
delay? Exhibits in the trial could not
be found for several years, hisattor
ney said.
