Court will rule
if row inmates
can get lawyers
HOUSTON (AP) — Should the U.S.
Supreme Court rule that indigent death
row inmates are constitutionally entitled
to lawyers after their direct appeals are
exhausted, it could have a dramatic eco
nomic impact on Texas, officials said.
The high court has agreed to hear a
Virginia case and could decide that states
must provide lawyers to death row pris
oners during the second phase of theii
appeals.
A ruling in favor of convicts could re
sult in large amounts of public money
being spent on appeals for those death
row indigents who now depend mainly
on services volunteered by private law
yers.
Experts say it also could eliminate te
dious delays in death penalty appeals —
delays that are increasingly coming un
der fire by judges who are fed up with
last-minute legal maneuvers to prolong
capital litigation.
James B. Sales of Houston, . president
of the State Bar of Texas, made the esti
mation that it costs $200,000 to fund
each indigent death row prisoner’s ap
peal from state district court all the way
to the Supreme Court — with roughly
half of that money spent on state appeals.

I have seen some of the most pitiful cases of animal
abuse. What is sad is that people don’t understand
that animals have feelings. When you find a dog that
is hairless, full of sores and sick, he still wags his tail.

abandoned German shepherd. The
neighbor — who has been feeding the
dog a few table scraps and filling its*
bowl with water -— agrees to keep an eye
on the animal until French can return the
next day to take it to the SPCA shelter.
“We’d like to keep her, but we’ve got
our hands full with our dog,” the man
explains. French says he understands.
That’s why he’s here.
“We’ll fatten her up, check her for
worms, and hopefully she will be
adopted by someone who’ll give her
some tender loving care,” French tells
the man. He turns toward the dog and
gives her one last pat. “You be a good
girl now. I’ll be back and you’ll be fine.
You’re almost home, girl.”
Back in the pickup, French says he’s
grateful that the neighbor called the
SPCA.
“I have seen some of the most pitiful
cases of animal abuse,” he said. “What is
sad is that people don’t understand that
animals have feelings. When you find a
