About 80 potential jurors were called to the federal courthouse in Beaumont for questioning Tuesday. The tri al, moved from Sherman at defense lawyers’ request, is expected to last about four weeks. In a 36-count indictment issued last summer, 29 peo ple were accused of smug gling heroin and cocaine from Mexico in 1997 and sell ing it to juveniles and young adults in the Plano area. Eighteen people have pleaded guilty. The latest to do so, 22-year-old Jose Anto nio Pineda, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of us ing a telephone in the distri bution of a controlled sub stance. Pineda, who had been charged with conspira cy and distribution, faces a maximum four-year prison term and $250,000 fine. The 11 being tried face up to life in prison because of a rarely used federal sentenc ing enhancement that allows for the stiff punishment when prosecutors can trace a lethal dose of illegal drugs directly to the dealer. Prosecutors allege the de fendants used shoes with false compartments to smug gle the drugs across the bor der from Mexico. Once in Plano, the drugs were dis tributed from several loca tions, including a residence known as the “Blue House” and an open-air market. From June 1997 through November 1997, four people who allegedly purchased heroin from the defendants died of overdoses. The vic tims were Erin Baker, 16; Wesley Scott, 19; Rob Hill, 19; and Milan Malina, 20, all of whom either lived in Plano or attended Plano schools.

Blanco monks face charges of indecency with children BLANCO (AP) — In their flowing black robes and match ing hats, the bearded monks of Christ of the Hills Monastery for years were merely a curiosity. Saying little when they ventured into town to buy groceries or mail letters, the Russian Orthodox monks were a seeming ly peaceful sort who lived on a nearby hilltop and welcomed outsiders who came to view a weeping icon of the Virgin Mary. Lately, though, the monastery’s quiet world of worship has been shaken and its relationship with Blanco townspeople strained by an alleged sex scandal involving two monks. “It is, of course, sad. But we know everything is in God’s hands. He permits persecution and things to befall us as he sees fit,” said Father Pangratios, a spokesman for the monastery. Samuel A. Greene Jr., 54, known as Father Benedict, and Jonathan Hitt, 37, known as Father Jeremiah, each have been charged with three counts of indecency with a child alleged ly involving a f 7-year-old male religious student who lived at Christ of the Hills in the summer of 1997. The monks will be arraigned Wednesday in Johnson City before state District Judge Gilford Jones, who has issued a gag order in the case.
