Military- school cadets charged wilGr
attempted murder of fellow studep 1 ’
JL U WASP
HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) — Two military
school cadets described as exemplary students
and respected leaders were charged with at
tempted murder Wednesday, accused of slash
ing the throat of a fellow cadet in a dorm room.
The arrests of Christopher Lee Boze and Je
remiah George Jensen, both 17, have stunned
officials at the Marine Military Academy and
left parents around the country concerned
about the safety of their children.
“This isn’t something you envision or even
contemplate. It’s in the category of your worst
nightmare to wake up to something like this,”
said Commandant of Cadets Col. Tom Hobbs.
The Harlingen Academy has 480 students
enrolled in grades eight through 12 from 29
states and several countries. About 16 percent
of the students are from Texas.
Hobbs said parents from around the nation
had been calling the school since learning of
the attack. After news of the arrests got out, sev
eral parents withdrew their children from the
32-year-old academy.
Boze, of nearby Olmito, and Jensen, ofVan-
couver, Wash., were arrested Tuesday night on
the school’s campus. Boze was released from
jail Wednesday on $100,000 bond. Jensen re
main imprisoned in lieu of the same bond.
The senior cadets are accused of slashing
the throat of another senior, Gabriel Cortez,
around 3 a.m. Monday in the Company B bar
racks.
According to police, Cortez, 18, was awak
ened by someone climbing on top of him. He
then felt pressure on his neck and yelled out.
His assailants fled as other cadets burst into the
room to see what had happened.
Cortez was transported to a local hospital,
where he received 28 stitches.
Police spent Monday and Tuesday interviewing
cadets and school officials. Although Cortez told
them he was unable to identify his attackers be
cause the room was dark, several witnesses iden
tified Boze and Jensen as the men they saw fleeing,
said Harlingen police Lt. E. Leal.
“Other witnesses identified them as the at
tackers,” Leal said.
Neither Boze’s attorney nor his mother re
turned telephone messages from the Associat
ed Press. Authorities did not know whether
“This isn’t something you envision or
even contemplate. It’s in the category
of your worst nightmare to wake up
to something like this.”
COL. TOM HOBBS
COMMANDANT OF CADETS
Jensen had hired an attorney, and a telephone
number for his parents could not be obtained.
Police said they were still searching for a
motive in the attack. School officials declined
to speculate on a possible motive and said
Cortez told them he knew of no reason for the
attack.
“That’s the million-dollar question,” said
Hobbs. “You look at the individuals and you say
why, but there’s nothing that jumps out.”
School spokesman Robert Beckley said
there is little connecting Cortez with Boze and
Jensen. They all lived in the same two-story
barracks, along with about 65 other students.
Cortez lived on the top floor with an eighth-
grade cadet, while Boze and Jensen shared a
room on the first floor. Cortez’s roommate was
asleep in the top bunk bed when Cortez was at
tacked in the lower bunk, Beckley said.

Governor Bush to pardon Houston mat,.
Court hearing validates DNA evidence proving prisoner not guilty of1985 nr

AUSTIN (AP) —
A Houston man
who served 12
years in prison for
rape but later was
cleared by DNA
tests will be par
doned, Gov.
George W. Bush
said Wednesday.
Bush said a court
Gov. G.W. Bush
a court hearing in
Houston validated the new DNA ev
idence and that he would sign the
pardon for Kevin James Byrd.
“As soon as we get the paperwork
in, he’s pardoned. That would be to
day,” Bush said.
State District Judge Doug Shaver
determined “that DNA evidence
was properly handled and tested in
the Byrd case, and secondly that
based on this new evidence, Kevin
Byrd is innocent of sexual assault,”
Bush said.
Byrd, 36, was released from
prison July 30 after serving 12 years.
In asking for a pardon, he said, “I
think I’ve been through enough.”
Backing his request were the
judge who oversaw his 1985 trial and
tlie Harris County district attorney’s
office that prosecuted him.
Bush had insisted that a court re
view the DNA tests as a procedure is
established for cases in which such
new evidence is found.
“This case is the first of many
that we expect to see during the
next several years as DNA evidence
is more widely used to review con
victions,” Bush said.
“It is absolutely essential to es
tablish a proper procedure and
precedent to handle these cases
that ensures that both victims and
defendants are granted due
process, and that courts of law will
review the validity of evidence be
fore it is acted upon by a governor,”
he said.
Byrd was serving five years proba
tion for a Bay City burglary when a 25-
year-old Houston woman told police
he was the man who raped her.
From the outset, the case was
shaky. The alleged victim, eight
months pregnant at the time, told
police she was raped while lying in
bed, her 2-year-old sleeping be
side her.
She told police it was a white
man who raped her. Four months
later, after seeing Byrd, a black man,
in a grocery store, she told police he
was the attacker.
