Prosecutors and defense attorneys jthey expect the trial of Hurley Itepot, former principal at Hull- fsetta Woodson Junior High , to take about two weeks, ^uryiof 10 women and two men Friday. State District Judge John Martin last week rejected a de fense request to move the trial be cause of extensive publicity. Fontenot, 48, is charged in the shooting death of Billy Mac Fleming, 38, who coached football and taught math at the Liberty County school. Fontenot is free on $50,000 bond and has pleaded innocent to the kill- in 8- Fleming was last seen alive April 12. Ten clays later, a berry piclter found his body in a densely forested area near Segno in Polk County. He had been shdt twice in the back of the head, authorities said. Prosecutors say they believe Flem ing was killed in Liberty County and the body was moved. Authorities allege Fontenot be came jealous when he learned Flem ing was seeing the school secretary, Laura Nugent, whom both men dated and hoped to marry. Polk County District Attorney Peter Speers said prosecutors wil use circumstantial evidence to prove Fontenot killed Fleming. Legal center helps victims of child abuse Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — A legal center to handle family abuse cases has brought lawyers from the Bexar County district attorney’s office to gether with staff members of the Texas Department of Human Re sources to help victims, officials say. The unit was designed to make dealing with the legal system easier for victims of child abuse, prosecu tors say. The common office will be ready for occupancy by 32 workers in late February. Officials say its spouse- abuse component, which has oper ated since January 1984, has helped more than 3,600 victims. “When a case comes over from the Police Department or (human serv ices department), it will be assigned to one lawyer and one advocate who will see it through all the way to court,” says attorney Karen Amos, legal chief of the unit. “The child will not be shuffled around or have to tell his story con stantly,” she says. “This is called ver tical prosecution; the continuity helps make the child more comfort able.” Three child abuse advocates in the office become the lifeline be tween the victim and the legal sys tem, officials say. They provide a re assuring hug, a concerned voice on the phone and patient explanation. “Most district attorney’s offices don’t have advocates, but they are needed because the attorneys can’t devote that much time to victims,” Joy Hollingsworth, advocate super visor, says. She says advocates also track cases in the legal system for TDHR case workers and provide followup serv ices. The idea for the family violence unit emerged from reports pub lished by the district attorney’s task forces on spouse and child abuse. “We visited Seattle’s unit for sex ual assault victims as well as four or five other big projects around the country,” says Joyce Dorrycott, chairwoman of both task forces. “What we’re doing is a step for ward; it’s unique in the country. We are on the cutting edge. We are one of six model programs in the coun try; people are coming to us for in formation,” she says. Round trip. Anywhere we go.
