Judge silences murder defendant;
outbursts controlled with duct tape
HOUSTON (AP) — A judge didn’t issue a gag order,
but she did order a murder defendant’s mouth taped
shut because of two outbursts during court proceed-
ings.
State District Judge Mary Bacon ordered Sabastian
Frederick Morris, 28, muffled after he refused to halt
his outbursts Monday.
As Morris sat calmly in a chair at the defense table,
court bailiff Russell Adams and several Harris County
sheriffs deputies applied gray duct tape to his mouth
and neck. Deputies also taped Morris’ hand to the arm
rests and shackled his feet to the legs of the chair. The
tape was padded to prevent it from sticking to the de
fendant’s mouth and neck.
In his first outburst, Morris screamed that a sheriffs
deputy was lying when testifying that the defendant
threatened a witness to the murder.
About 15 minutes later, Morris leaned forward in his
chair, pointed his finger at another witness and accused
him of lying about the events on the night of the shoot
ing.
The judge again warned Morris to halt the outbursts,
but when he refused she ordered him muffled.
Morris, whose alias is “Freddie Krueger,” is charged
in the Aug. 16, 1989, shooting death of Kevin Young
outside a Houston food store.
Young, who was wounded in the leg, ran three blocks
to his home after the shooting and collapsed on the
back porch. He died later at Ben Taub Hospital.
If convicted of the first-degree charge, Morris could
be sentenced to 99 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Crime Stoppers ask public for clues
about burglary of guns worth $16,000
Burglars entered a residence on
Mistywood Court in Bryan on Dec. 2
by removing a window screen at the
rear of the home and breaking a util
ity room window, according to a
Crime Stoppers report.
The report says that on Dec. 2
around 6 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. bur
glars entered the residence, made
their way to an upstairs bedroom
and used an unknown tool to pry
open a gun safe in the closet.
Approximately 15 long-barrel
I guns and four pistols were taken
from the master bedroom nearby,
according to the report. Total value
of the stolen weapons is estimated to
be $16,000.
Thieves left stereo equipment and
appliances untouched, leading in
vestigators to believe the suspects
were only after the guns, the report
says.
Nine weeks ago this burglary was
featured as a crime of the week.
Since that time Crime Stoppers has
received only three calls regarding
this offense. Investigators have ex
hausted all possible leads.
This week the Bryan Police De
partment and Crime Stoppers need
your help in identifying the per-
son(s) responsible for this burglary.
If you have information that could
be helpful, call Crime Stoppers at
775-TIPS.
When you call, Crime Stoppers
will assign you a special coded num
ber to protect your identity. If your
call leads to an arrest and grand jury
indictment, Crime Stoppers will pay
you up to $1,000 in cash. Crime
Stoppers also pays cash for any in
formation on any felony crime or
the location of a wanted fugitive.
