ts’district, § : Sugrue, 32, has been convicted
ice of burglary and faces a 25-year
jtison sentence if convicted of a new
rglary charge.
Prosecutors offered him a 15-year
ison sentence in exchange for a
ilty plea, but Sugrue said he
)ould accept no more than 12 years
foi the crime.
The district attorney’s office on
Monday refused the new terms, an
gering Mays, who set the case for a
jury trial Dec. 1 and announced he
’Would postpone all other cases until
then.
State District Judge Ron Chap
man, presiding judge for the 34-
county administrative judicial re
gion, characterized the standoff as
“just a meeting of two strong minds”
that would resolve itself.
“It’s very, very unusual, especially
for Dallas,” said Chapman, who has
the authority to appoint a visiting
judge to handle Mays’ case load. “It’s
just a stalemate of egos. That’s what
it is.”
Assistant District Attorney Norm
Kinne said he didn’t know what re
mained to be discussed.
“We’ve made an offer,” Kinne
said. “It is our bottom-line offer. . . .
The point is not that there’s so much
difference between 12 and 15 years.
The point is there’s a bottom line
somewhere, and we’ve reached it.”
The difference between the 12-
and 15-year sentences would
amount to about two months of ac
tual prison time served, officials
said. More than 90 percent of all
criminal cases in the county are re-
solved with plea-bargain
agreements, according to court offi
cials.
On Tuesday, Kinne reassigned
the three prosecutors in Mays’ court
to “other courts where judges are
working.”
“This is a first for me, when you
shut down a whole court,” Kinne
said. “You punish everybody who
has a case pending in that court.”
'omens' voter group wonts
revision of Texas constitution
||AUSTIN (AP) — The League of
llpmen Voters of Texas, upset over
the length of the November consti-
riutional amendment ballot, called
Wednesday for complete revision of
xas’ 111-year-old constitution,
eague President Diane Sheridan
id the 3,800-member organization
id decided not to support or op-
e any of the 25 proposed consti-
tional amendments or two refer-
jjlums on the Nov. 3 ballot.
However, she told a news confer
ence, “The league is saying to voters
Vote in this election — it’s very im
portant — but take a careful look at
what you’re voting on.’ ”
Sheridan said the league was
urging voters to contact legislators to
complain about the number of pro
posed amendments on the ballot.
“The league believes it is time to
revise the Texas Constitution so that
it becomes a basic framework of gov
ernment,” she said.“And we are say
ing to the Texas Legislature,
‘Enough is enough. Let us work to
gether to halt this ridiculous system
of running the government by
means of the constitution.’ ”
