Gramm is backing Dallas lawyer Lack of experience hindering judge Associated Press HOUSTON — An American Bar Association committee says a state district judge recommended for a seat on the federal bench doesn’t have enough experience as a lawyer. But U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, R- Texas, says he may ask the Reagan administration to ignore the objec tion because “of all the problems, that’s the one we’re all certain to out grow.” In March, Gramm recommended the president nominate Judge Sid ney A. Fitzwater, 32, of Dallas, to fill a federal court vacancy in the north ern district of Texas. Fitzwater also has been cham pioned by the 10 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House of Representa tives. If nominated by Reagan and con firmed by the Senate, Fitzwater would be the nation’s youngest fed eral judge. But the ABA’s federal judiciary committee, whose opinions have been highly regarded by previous administrations, has informally ob jected to Fitzwater because he hasn’t been a lawyer long enough to earn a life tenure post. ABA guidelines state that “ordi narily” a federal judicial nominee should have at least 12 years’ experi ence as an attorney. Fitzwater has - eight years’ experience. If the ABA committee eventually rules that Fitzwater is not qualified because of the rule, Gramm said he may ask the president to disregard the rule and accept the recommen dation. Gramm said the ABA’s rule has been waived for women and minori ties and should be set aside for Fitz water because of his “exceptional tal ent.” “I’m strong for him, and I’ve made that know to the administra tion,” Gramm told the Houston Chronicle’s Washington bureau on Wednesday. “He’s exactly the kind of person I want on the federal bench.” Fitzwater refused to discuss the matter while Gramm’s recommenda tion is pending. Senate Judiciary Committee spokesman Mark Goodwin said the ABA panel’s view is respected but is _ only one aspect in the process. Robert Evans, the ABA’s director of government relations, declined to discuss the matter as did Gene W. Lafitte of New Orleans, a member of the ABA’s federal judiciary commit tee. Prosecutor's gut feeling frees innocent man “It was just a case of mistaken identity. I’m certainly sorry and regret he had to spend any amount of time in jail.” — Prosecutor Charley Davidson about wrongly-accused Thomas P. Goldschmidt. Associated Press HOUSTON — A Harris County prosecutor’s hunch that a man ac cused of robbing a bank was inno cent, even though four eyewitnesses identified him, proved correct and the man was freed. “I have never worked so hard to prove somebody did not commit a crime,” prosecutor Charley David son said of Thomas P. Goldschmidt. Wednesday, after five months of investigation and on Davidson’s rec ommendation, state District Judge Doug Shaver dismissed the aggra vated robbery charge against Gold schmidt. Fort Worth officials also dismissed similar charges. “I’m very relieved it’s all over,” said Goldschmidt, 32, of Webster. “It’s been very frustrating.” Goldschmidt was arrested April 24 for the April 18 robbery of Allied Jetero Bank. A detective saw a sur veillance camera photograph and recognized the suspect as Goldsch midt. whom the detective knew. Witnesses, shown what police call a “photo spread,” picked out Gold schmidt. Then there was a line-up and four bank employees positively identified Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt spent 45 days in Harris County Jail before Davidson, believing Goldschmidt might be in nocent, got his bond lowered from $200,000 to $10,000. “It was unusual that the prosecut ing attorney and the investigating officer were investigating my inno cence as opposed to my guilt,” Gold schmidt said. Goldschmidt, however, said he could understand how the witnesses identified him. He had been fin gered as Dallas’ dapper bank robber. Since Sept. 18, 1978, a well- dressed man is believed to have robbed 14 Texas banks of more than $500,000, mostly in the Dallas area. The bandit also struck Fort Worth and eyewitnesses there also pointed fingers at Goldschmidt. But an Arlington bank was robbed when Goldschmidt was in the Harris County Jail. Investigators fbund no evidence in Goldschmidt’s banking and busi ness records to indicate he had robbed the banks. But Davidson said Goldschmidt and the real robber look enough alike to he twine save up to, d more END OF THE MONTH CLEARANCE Dillard’s 4 DAYS ONLY!
