Plane crashes
trying to land
in dense fog
HOUSTON (AP) — A pilot whose
plane crashed in a heavily wooded area
north of Intercontinental Airport
Wednesday had been diverted from his
intended destination in nearby Conroe
because of dense, early-morning fog, au
thorities said.
The crash killed pilot Gregory Gem-
mill, 31, of Conroe.
He was the only person aboard the
twin-engine Piper Aerostar..
Gemill was returning early Wednes
day morning after delivering a load of
newspaper to Louisiana, airport offi
cials said
Although weather was considered a
contributing factor in the crash, authori
ties have not yet determined a cause.
A team of investigators from the Na
tional Transportation Safety Board ar
rived at the crash site Wednesday.
Federal Aviation Administration offi
cials also arrived with the investigators.
Gemmill’s Piper Aerostar crashed
about two miles north of the airport
shortly after 3 a.m., Bill Ainsworth, air
port spokesman, said.
Visibility at that time was about one-
sixteenth of a mile, Ainsworth said.
Gemmill, who was thrown from the
plane on impact, was pronounced dead at
the scene.
The wreckage was found by Houston
Airport Police about an hour after it went
down within the city limits in the pri
vately owned pasture, about 300 yards
from the nearest house.
The plane, owned by Conroe Aviation
Service, was returning from Baton
Rouge, La., but was diverted to the north
Houston airport because of the fog,
Ainsworth said.
Defense lawyer
brings twist
to murder case
HOUSTON (AP) — The attorney rep
resenting John Charles Zimmerman in
his third capital murder trial brings
unique insight to the case — he was fore
man of the jury that convicted Zimmer
man and sentenced him to death nearly
10 years ago.
“At first blush, I said he can’t do
that,” Wes Hocker, who served on the
jury in Zimmerman’s second trial for the
kidnapping, rape and fatal stabbing of
his 10-year-old niece, said.
“But after I thought about it and asked
some legal scholars about it, I found I
really don’t have a conflict of interest,”
Hocker said. “I’ve never heard of such a
thing, but there’s no impropriety.”
The verdicts in the first and second tri
als were overturned.
Zimmerman, 41, had written a letter
asking the court to name Hocker to rep
resent him, and the lawyer was ap
pointed Tuesday by State District Judge
Woody Densen.
“A defense attorney’s function is to
protect every one of his client’s rights re
gardless of guilt or innocence,” Hocker
said. “It’s not the judge’s or the lawyers’
place to judge. It’s the jury’s.”
Hocker said Zimmerman approached
him though his current law partner, Rob
ert Morrow, who worked with one of
Zimmerman’s principal attorneys in the
second trial in 1979.
During that trial, prosecutors pre
sented letters Zimmerman wrote to his
wife, Sherry, in July 1977 while he was
held on charges of killing Ramona Ann
Abner of Jacinto City on March 24,
1977.
Zimmerman’s mother-in-law found
the letters, in which he described com
mitting the crime, and secretly sent them
to the slain girl’s mother, who gave them
to investigators.
In April, the Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals threw out Zimmerman’s convic
tion and ordered a new trial, ruling that
the letters were confidential communica
tion between husband and wife and
should not have been admitted as evi
dence.
