Death row inmate waits,

“It’s kind of hard to accept but
it*!ja: i)u have to realize it takes time for
zedn legal process to move along,”
0 f pa iandley said in his First interview
> inffeft a judge last Oct. 9 recom-
thartiTended to a state appeals court that
ebe granted a new trial.
nenuTBrandley.a 37-year-old black
‘tectefi an > was convicted of killing a white
alood H Cheryl Fergeson, in an attack
tug 23, 1980, at Conroe High
opfor Ihool, wliere he worked as a jani-
in ps' f,! |§
State District Judge Perry Pickett,
who presided over a nine-day evi
dentiary hearing, said in a 47-page
recommendation to the Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals that Brandley’s
conviction and death sentence were
marred by racial prejudice, perjured
testimony, intimidated witnesses and
a biased investigation.
Pickett’s written report was deliv
ered to the appeals court in Novem
ber. Court spokesman Thomas
Lowe said Wednesday the case was
pending.
Brandley’s attorney, Mike DeGeu-
rin, said he has no idea when a rul
ing will be issued.
Both he and Brandley denied the
death row interview was an attempt
to pressure the court.
“I just felt it was time to come
down,” Brandley said.
DeGeurin said if Brandley is ap
proved for a new trial, he will ask
that his client be freed on bond.
Brandley’s First trial ended with a
hung jury favoring conviction 11-1.
At a second trial in 1981, he was con
victed by an all-white jury and sen
tenced to death. He has since had
two execution dates.
His attorneys insisted he was con
victed because he is black and that
white janitors present at the time of
the slaying were immediately ruled
out as suspects.
Montgomery County District At
torney Peter Speers has said retrying
Brandley would be difficult.
robe: FAA did not give weather warning
See related story, Page 9
DALLAS (AP) — The Federal
Aviation Administration did not
Hvide severe weather warnings to
■ crew of a business jet that
Bhed near Texarkana in April
I98(i, air safety investigators said
fuesday.
'The National Transportation
loaid in Washington said air traffic
oqnollers acted in accordance with
Rent FAA regulations but made
■ attempt to inform the plane’s
crew of the storms.
The board said the FAA, in par
ticular the Dallas Flight Service Sta
tion, didn’t give warning about se
vere weather on the jet’s intended
route from Dallas to New Jersey.
Seven people died in the crash.
The board said at least two severe
weather notices were in effect for
the plane’s intended route but the
FAA did not pass that information
onto the crew.
Soon after the twin-engiue plane
took off from Redbird Airport in
Dallas, the crew asked a controller
ig hi
havii
weather because they were having
trouble with their radar.
The twin-engine plane encoun
tered severe turbulence, gusts and
thunderstorms over East Texas.
The NTSB’s analysis of the
weather showed that the plane,
which was flying at 37,000 feet, went
into an uncontrolled dive after en
countering strong winds.
The board said it would recom
mend that the FAA require air traf-
Fic controllers to broadcast severe
weather reports more frequently.
