SIT IN THE HOT SEAT March 7th«10am-4pm 1st Floor MSC EVERMAN (AP) — The mother of a 5-year-old boy who died after drinking 10 ounces of bourbon at a party has been charged in the boy’s death, police said Monday. Patricia Griffin, 31, was charged with injury to a child by gross negligence in the death of her son, Raymond Thomas Griffin II, last week, said Everman Police Chief Roger Larm. The offense is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. “We feel she was negligent in getting him the medical attention when it was needed,” Larm said. “An ambu lance wasn’t called until 16 hours after the original con sumption of alcohol, and 12 hours after he started be ing seriously ill.” Large Country Home needs roommate $250/month in cludes utilities Call 845-2878 anytime. 104t3/06 DC son drink the alcohol, but she was told immediately af terward and apparently did nothing. The child died last Wednesday, 11 hours after being removed from life support machines. Police say Raymond was urged to drink the alcohol “like a man” by an adult at the neighborhood gathering at his home March 2. Anthony Jimerson, 21, has been charged with first- degree felony injury to a child and is being held in the Tarrant County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. Griffin is being held under $ 10,000 bond. Witnesses have told police that Jimerson wanted the boy to go to sleep so ne could be alone with Griffin, Larm said. Griffin has said the statements upset her. “I didn’t know he was saying that,” she said last week. Another child, Rasad Griffin, 2, has been removed from the home since Raymond’s death. A hearing Tuesday will determine whether he stays in foster care. Doctors say the boy suffered irreversible brain dam age after ingesting the bourbon and some beer and had a mood alcohol content of .55, which is five times the le gal definition of intoxication in Texas. Officers said the boy drank roughly the equivalent of a fifth of alcohol for an average adult.

Darrell Lowry, Donald Castle and George V.

Federal prosecutors have con tended that the three men are not accused of an extraditable offense and should not be allowed to leave the country unless they sign a docu- A Texas man — Vernon P. Tull of Brownsville — also has been indicted in the case, which involves an alleged plan to pay Castle and Lowry a $50,000 kickback in the sale of 11 buses. Castle and Lowry are the presi dent and vice president of Saskat chewan Transportation Co. Morton has been identified as an agent for Eagle International Inc., which was arranging the sale of 11 buses to the Canadian firm. Tull, who is free on personal re cognizance, is executive vice presi dent of Eagle International, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dallas-based Greyhound Corp. The four defendants were charged under the Federal Foreign Corrupt Practice Act of 1977 that makes it a felony to offer or pay a bribe to any foreign official for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of such foreign official in his official capacity. Conviction carries a possible pen alty of imprisonment up to five years. Tuesday’s hearing is set for 2:30 p.m. CST.

Bill Hobby called Monday for increasing the state cigarette tax by 14 cents per pack, which would raise an esti mated $ 150 million a year to help fund court-or dered school-finance reform. “That’s quite a few hundred million dollars out there, just lying on the table, to be raked in,” Hobby said. But Gov. Bill Clements repeated his vow to veto any new taxes in the special session in which lawmakers are dealing with a Texas Supreme Court ruling that the current school funding sys tem is unconstitutional. “There is not going to be any tax bill as far as I’m concerned,” Clements said. The current cigarette tax of 26 cents a pack yields $374 million annually, said John Bell, di rector of cash flow forecast for the state Trea sury, which administers the cigarette tax. A 14-cent increase would yield about $150 mil- The state could get federal matching funds if it dedicated the cigarette tax to Medicare and other health-care services, freeing up other state funds for education, Hobby said. The Depart ment of Human Services has reported a funding shortfall. Hobby said a cigarette tax increase would pass the Legislature “in a minute.” The money from such an increase would not be enough to solve the state’s financial problems, but it would help, he said. Hobby said he called for the cigarette tax increase at a Texas Cancer Council luncheon he attended with Clements and House Speaker Gib Lewis. Sen. Carl Parker, chairman of the Senate Edu cation Committee, said Clements might be pri vately less averse to increasing cigarette or liquor taxes for school-finance reform, but the gover nor said that’s not true. Parker, D-Port Arthur, said, “I’m hearing talk about all kinds of schemes. I’ve heard that the governor may not be as opposed to so-called sin taxes as his public posture indicates.” Clements responded: “I don’t think Parker really knows very much about me, one way or the other. ... I haven’t seen any bill, but I guarantee you if there are any taxes that are in there, I will veto it.” A Senate subcommittee on Monday discussed school-finance reform proposals, including a bill co-sponsored by Parker, Hobby and Sen. Kent Caperton, D-Bryan, that would cost the state an estimated $783 million the first year The special session that began Tuesday, two weeks before the March primary, was called by Clements for lawmakers to address the Supreme Court’s school-finance decision and a federal court ruling that calls for the state to change the way state judges are elected.

I The Agg Child abuse case under investigation AUSTIN (AP) — The attorney general’s office is investigating the way the Texas Department of Human Services handled the case of a 2-year-old boy who was fa tally beaten after coming to the agency’s attention three times. A state Senate committee that oversees the department also is monitoring the case of Christo pher Wohlers, who died Jan. 3. The Office of Youth Care In vestigations, a division of the at torney general’s office, is con ducting an independent review even though the welfare agency cleared employees of wrongdoing after an internal investigation, the Austin American-Statesman reported. Mike Peary, supervisor of criminal investigations, said the staff decided to review Christo pher’s death to see whether DHS guidelines were followed and ap propriate actions taken. Depend ing on its findings, Feary said, the office may make recommenda tions to the Human Services Commission later this month. Examiner claims airline reports misinterpreted by news media NEW YORK (AP) — Texas Air Corp.’s agreement to pay its Eastern Airlines subsidiary about $280 mil lion was not an admission that it bought assets from the airline at un fairly low prices, Eastern’s court-ap pointed bankruptcy examiner told congressional leaders Monday. Examiner David I. Shapiro said his report investigating dealings be tween Texas Air and Eastern, which concluded Eastern was underpaid by hundreds of millions of dollars, had been misinterpreted by the news me dia as a finding that Texas Air was liable for the money. “I did not find that Texas Air had improperly diverted assets from Eastern,” Shapiro wrote in a letter to House Speaker Thomas S. Foley and House Minority Leader Robert H. Michel. “Instead, I set forth the grounds on which such a claim could be asserted. “The setdement is not an admis sion of liability by Texas Air,” the letter read. “Rather, it is an agreement between Texas Air and the examiner as to what is needed to assure the economic viability of East ern Airlines.” Shapiro declined any comment on the matter Monday. A copy of the letter, sent Monday, was obtained by the Associated Press.
