Man faces possible life sentence if convicted
—Publicity slows jury selection
is in Treaty Oak poisoning case
msive i AUSTIN (AP) —Jury selection began Monday in the
r CU f !l rial a man who faces a life prison sentence if con
tort [:\ victed of poisoning a famous, centuries-old oak tree.
I Paul Stedman Cullen, 46, is accused of pouring the
jew col herbicide Velpar around the base of the historic Treaty
im - §fc)ak, where, according to folklore, Stephen F. Austin
re lea: s ig nec j a treaty with the Indians in the 1820s.
Stephen F. Austin is generally regarded as the Father
did!'LfXexas.
ustodia The poisoning was discovered last Memorial Day.
- schtft Half G f (Tg QO-foot tree is dead as a result, despite
e sickij $100,000 in donations and herculean efforts to save it,
don’t: Officials have said.
S Attorneys expected the process of choosing 12 jurors
quark f rom 55 candidates to be difficult because of extensive
pal Mil! publicity surrounding the case.
I The attack on the tree shocked city residents and
meyai touched people around the world. Many sent get-well
nts dor cards to the tree or stopped to write messages and leave
1 do, tt tokens of good will.
Workers have severed the most severely affected
lissing roots and have injected sugar water in hopes of thin-
slor, nt ning the poison.
iry will Cullen, of Elroy, is charged with felony criminal mis
chief and could be sentenced to life in prison if con
victed because he has a prior prison burglary convic
tion. He was denied bail and has been in jail awaiting
trial for more than 10 months.
None of the attorneys on either side of the case
would comment on the proceedings Monday, although
defense attorneys objected in court to limits State Dis
trict Judge Bob Perkins put on their case.
Perkins granted prosecution motions requiring de
fense attorneys to clear certain information with him
before allowing it in the trial, including possible crimi
nal records of state witnesses and evidence of Cullen’s
good character.
“It seems to cast a cloud on anything the defense tries
to do, and if that happens, I don’t see how we can get a
fair trial at all,” said Richard Jenkins of Dallas, one of
Cullen’s attorneys.
Attorneys said they expect the trial to last about two
weeks.
Cullen also could face up to 15 years in prison for
federal charges of possession of a firearm by a felon
and making a false statement to a firearms dealer. The
charges stem from a .22-caliber rifle police say they
found in his truck when he was arrested.
