Assault case strikes taxpayer’s pocketbooks
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The spat between
'etcran congressman Henry B. Gonzalez and a
onservative businessman cost the man a bruised
lye and taxpayers a pain in the pocketbook, offi-
:ials said.
jJlpst month, Bexar County prosecutors dis-
lissed a misdemeanor assault charge against
kofzalez, who was accused of hitting Bill Allen in
tieTace at a restaurant on Dec. 4.
Gonzalez issued a statement on Aug. 28, apol-
|ng to his constituents that the incident oc-
after Allen allegedly called the congress-
i a communist.
The statement ended a crop of paperwork for
prosecutors, Gonzalez’s attorneys and transcrib
ers of the U.S. Congressional Record.
The bill, however, will cost more than $13,000,
the Texas Lawyer magazine reported this week.
In June, Gonzalez went to the House floor five
times to tell his version of the incident and to
evade a gag order from court-at-law Judge Tim
othy Johnson.
Gonzalez filled 21 pages of the congressional
record, which will cost the taxpayers about
$10,300, the Dallas-based magazine said.
Gonzalez’s attorney, Jack Paul Leon, said any
waste of money should be blamed on the district
attorney’s office which pursued the case in
county court.
“Anybody else involved in the same type of sit
uation would have been in municipal or justice of
the peace court and not faced with a potential
year in jail,” Leon said. “It would have been just
like a traffic court and wouldn’t have cost any
body anything.”
John Wondra, the district attorney initially as
signed to the case, said police filed the case as a
Class A misdemeanor and the evidence seemed
to back up the charge.
“We don’t feel our time was wasted,” he said.
“The case has been resolved, and part of the
obligation is to work up the case, get it ready and
if it’s resolved short of trial, then that’s the way
the criminal justice process works,” he said.

The TL60 functions include
hexadecimal/octal conversions,
integration using Simpson's rule,
statistics (including linear regres-
sion), trend line analysis and
metric to English conversions.
You can program 84 steps.
The 77-65 has all the
Tl-60 functions, plus a
stopuatch/timer for lab work,
eight physical constants for use
in thermodynamics and
physics as well as Decision
Programming capabilities.
You can program 100 steps.
TI advanced scientifics have
all the right engineering and
science functions to help you
function better in school.
When we set out to make our most
advanced scientific calculators, we
gave a lot of thought to what your
©1987 TI.
science, math and engineering
problems are. Then we designed our
calculators around them. The result:
the TT60 and the new TT65 are
both packed with built-in functions.
Plus, there are programming steps to
speed you through repetitive calcula
tions. But even though both can
handle the hardest problems, they’re
easy to use. Large, color-coded keys
and simple keyboard layouts mean
you spend less time figuring out the
calculator and more time figuring
out your problems.
So if you’re the kind of student who’s
got science on the brain, get the
calculators from the folks who’ve given
their brains to science. The Advanced
Scientifics from Texas Instruments.
