Jury discrepancies ottie Orphan Lambie
call for new hearing
AUSTIN (AP) — The convicted killer of a *-
year-old Corpus Christ! boy has been grazed a
new sentencing hearing because a potent juror
in his first case was dismissed over her opposition
to the death penalty.
“The erroneous exclusion of even one poten
tial juror because of her views on the death penal
ty requires reversal” of the original death sen
tence, a unanimous Courf of Criminal Appeals
ruled Wednesday.
The state’s highest court for criminal cases
ruled that state Disti ict/udge Joaquin Villareal im
properly granted prosecutors’ challenge of the po
tential juror after sPe called the death penalty “an
ineffective deterrent and a waste of time." The
woman added, however, that if she felt the death
penalty was appropriate in Larry Batten’s case,
she could support it.
Prosecutors said the woman obviously was biased
against the death penalty law and Villareal agreed, al
lowing Her to be dismissed from jury service.
“We cannot agree,” the Court of Criminal Appeals
wrote. “(The potential juror) never clearly asserted
that she would never vote for the death penalty. (She)
unequivocally stated that she could and would vote
for the death penalty if the evidence convinced her
that it was the appropriate punishment.”
The jury seated in Batten’s case convicted him
of capital murder and sentenced him to death for
the 1995 murder of Isaac Jackson.
The court said prospective jurors who have
reservations about the death penalty, but who clear
ly state that they can honestly follow the law, can
not be excluded from jury service on the grounds
that they are biased against the death penalty.
“This means that a (potential juror) is chal
lengeable for cause only if it is established that her
views will substantially impair her ability to per
form her duties as a juror,” the court wrote.

WASBINGTON (AP) — After the
sex-and-perjury allegations against
President Clinton erupted in Janu
ary, Bouse Speaker Newt Gingrich
swiftly sent word to his Republican
troops: Keep quiet.
And remarkably, the rank-and-
file have obeyed, heeding the polit
ical adage that there’s no need to in
terfere with an opponent when he’s
busy shooting himself in the foot.
Bowever, a trio of pugnacious se
nior Bouse Republicans — Majori
ty Leader Dick Armey of Irving, Ma
jority Whip Tom DeLay of Sugar
Land and Rep. Dan Burton of Indi
ana — have proved the exception.
DeLay launched the first salvo in a
Bouse speech last month, accusing
Clinton of shying from die truth and
urging him to air his dealings with
Monica Lewinsky and Katlileen Willey.
“The truth is the only thing now
that can preserve the dignity of the
presidency,” said DeLay, who later
surmised that Clinton “could very
well be a sexual predator.”
While DeLay’s attack was
planned, with advance billing given
to reporters, Armey’s broadside came
