Bill proposes to inform
juries of parole system
Special Purchase Sale
exclusively
DEMETRIOS of New York
AUSTIN (AP) — The Senate ap
proved a proposal Monday that
would lay the constitutional ground
work for allowing juries, in consid
ering punishment on certain felony
convictions, to be informed how the
parole system operates.
Opponents argued that the pro
posed constitutional amendment
would result in longer prison sen
tences, which would require more
beds for a prison system that is about
to burst at the seams.
The proposal by Sen. J.E. “Bus
ter” Brown was sent to the House on
a 26-5 vote, after two senators
pleaded unsuccessfully with their
colleagues to take a closer look at the
measure.
If at least two-thirds of the 150-
member House also approves the
proposal, it would be submitted to
the voters at a Nov. 7 statewide elec
tion.
The 1985 Legislature amended
the Code of Criminal Procedure to
allow judges to charge juries on pa
role law and how juries could con
sider it in determining sentences.
That provision, however, was de
clared unconstitutional in 1987 by
the Texas Court of Criminal Ap
peals.
Brown, R-Lake Jackson, said with
passage of his proposed amendment
there would not be any question that
the Legislature “has the authority
under our constitution” to reinstate
the practice thrown out by the crimi
nal court.
Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur,
asked Brown if he would accept an
amendment “to change the name of
this act to the Mandatory Prison
Overcrowding Act.”
Sen. Craig Washington, D-Hous-
ton, also said that Brown’s proposal
would result in longer sentences, but
Brown said, “Not necessarily.”
Brown said some argue that the
practice causes juries to increase sen
tences so prisoners will stay locked
up for a certain period of time, but
others said misinformed juries give
more time than they otherwise
would.
“The intent, of course, is not to in
crease sentences but to provide for a
better informed juror,” Brown said.
He added that the proposal — be
cause so few felonies go to trial and
even fewer result in convictions —
would have a “minimum impact” on
the state prison population.
Washington, however, called the
measure “another bazooka in the
prosecutor’s arsenal,” and Sen. Bob
Glasgow, D-Stephenville, called the
measure an “absolute mess’ that is
“fraught with error” and would
“further confuse the jury.”
“You’re creating a monster” that
district judges have told us they can’t
comply with, Glasgow said.
A bill spelling out how the law
would be changed if the constitu
tional amendment is approved also
cleared the Senate 26-5.
In other action Monday, the Sen
ate approved and sent to the House
measures that would:
• Eliminate the November dead
line for issuing $200 million in
T exas agricultural water conserva
tion bonds.
• Allow Texas Department of
Correction employees, under certain
conditions, to carry forward accu
mulated leave time.
• Authorize the Texas Employ
ment Commission to obtain criminal
background information on persons
applying for jobs considered “secu
rity sensitive.”
Resort town
lacks adequate
EMT service
SURFSIDE (AP) — The thou
sands of visitors who pack the beach
on hot summer days may think this
popular resort town has everything
to offer, but its two emergency medi
cal technicians warn that ambulances
are not always available.
“I guess someone is going to have
to die before the problem is re
solved,” said Pete David, one of two
emergency medical technicians in
this Brazoria County community of
600 year-round residents.
As many as 40,000 people pack a
four-mile stretch of beach on week
ends, a number that has been grow
ing as the site grows in popularity.
But when Marshaline Coward
cannot find a volunteer crew for one
of her ambulances stationed here
during summer months free of
charge, the closest ambulance could
be 20 minutes away.
“If someone has a heart attack, we
need to get to them in less than 10
minutes to have a chance to save a
person’s life,” Coward told the
Houston Chronicle. “With traffic
backed up ... I guess they’d either
suffer brain damage or die.”
Coward owns Lifeline, a private
ambulance service in Clute that cov
ers several unincorporated areas.
She is called first in case of a medical
emergency, but if no Lifeline ambu
lances are available, the call is trans
ferred to Freeport, where a volun
teer crew is reluctantly dispatched.
“It’s difficult for me to take the
volunteers and contributed money
from my own community and run
an ambulance service somewhere
else,” Freeport Fire Chief Bob John
son said.
