Appeals court
changes ruling
on conviction
Waldo
by Kevin Tim
WHATCH/O
DOIN''?
AUSTIN (AP) — A state appeals
court Wednesday threw out a crimi
nally negligent homicide conviction
against Peabody Southwest, Inc., in
the cave-in death of a construction
worker.
Peabody appealed to the 3rd
Court of Appeals, which ordered ac
quittal in the July 17, 1985, death of
Jdargarito Maldonado, who was
killed when the trench he was work
ing in collapsed on him.
The state charged Maldonado’s
employer with criminally negligent
homicide for failing to properly
slope and shore the walls of the
trench.
Peabody alleged that the trial
court lacked jurisdiction in the case
because state law was preempted by
the federal Occupational Safety and
Health Act. The trial judge denied
the motion, and Peabody pleaded no
contest. The judge accepted the plea
and fined Peabody $20,000.
Justice Jimmy Carroll noted that
the court had held in two other cases
determined on rehearing Wednes
day that federal law preempts state
criminal prosecutions based on
workplace safety conditions.

Texas’ assistant
attorney general
abdicates post
HOUSTON (AP) — The assistant
attorney general who spearheaded
reform of the Hermann Hospital Es
tate and the Moody Foundation says
he is resigning instead of taking a job
transfer.
John Vasquez, who now heads the
state attorney general’s charitable
trusts division, had been offered a
transfer and promotion to become a
special assistant attorney general in
the consumer protection division but
apparently was not given an option
to remain in his current job, officials
said.
“I think I have accomplished a lot
in this office, but I think I can serve
those concerns I most care about
probably best outside the (state)
agency,” Vasquez said Tuesday.
Vasquez submitted his letter of
resignation this week to Attorney
General Jim Mattox, effective Sept.
16. He will be replaced by Rose Ann
Reeser, an assistant attorney general
in the Houston consumer protection
office, said Ron Dusek, spokesman
for the attorney general.
Vasquez, 33, has been with the at
torney general’s charitable trusts of
fice since 1984.
“I’m resigning because I think it’s
in my best interest and in the best in
terest of my public policy concerns,”
he said. “I want to continue to do
good things. I hope I can, and I be
lieve I can.”
His resignation comes on the
heels of his creation of a controver
sial statewide task force to study the
delivery of indigent care by non
profit hospitals. The task force,
which grew out of his investigation
of the scandal-plagued Hermann
Hospital Estate, has drawn fire from
the powerful hospital lobby.
Dusek, however, said political dif
ferences were not the reasons for the
proposed transfer of Vasquez out of
the charitable trusts division.
“We have big, important cases not
only in the charitable trust division,
but also in the consumer protection
area,” Dusek said. “We would have
made the best use of the talents that
he has.
During his tenure, Vasquez
headed several major investigations
of charitable trusts in the Houston
Air-show victims
receive treatment
in Texas hospital
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Four
military personnel will spend up to
eight weeks in a burn treatment fa
cility after suffering third-degree
burns in an air show disaster in West
Germany, physicians said Wednes
day.
Three Americans and an Italian
are being treated at Brooke Army
Medical Center, which was expected
to receive a family of three Ameri
cans from the same crash late
Wednesday.
The four servicemen arrived early
Wednesday via a C-141 cargo plane
from West Germany and were taken
to the burn unit about 2 a.m.
They were identified as Air Force
Master Sgt. Stephen Hull, 31, sta
tioned at Kelly Air Force Base in San
Antonio; Army 1st Lt. Kim Strader,
41, -of Salt Lake City; Army Pfc.
Myron Riggs, 24, of Pittsburgh; and
Anderea, or Andrew, DelaRosa, 33,
a sergeant major assigned to the Ital
ian Embassy.
“The extent of burns ranges from
21 percent to 65 percent of the total
body surface,” Dr. Basil Pruitt, head
of the world-renowned burn unit,
said about the victims.
“In all of the patients, the majority
of the burns are third-degree, which
means that considerable skin graft
ing will have to be done to close the
wounds,” he said at a news confer
ence.
He said the four would be in the
hospital between six and eight
weeks, but he declined to discuss
