City prohibits gang interact! 9
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — They
may live next door to one another,
pass each other on the sidewalk or
wait in the same grocery store line.
But 32 neighbors are under strict
orders to ignore each other.
In an effort to crack down on
two gangs, a San Antonio judge
Tuesday laid down a two-year in
junction prohibiting alleged mem
bers of the groups from associating,
spraying graffiti paint or recruiting
new members.
Similar injunctions are in place
in California and Austin, but this is
the largest group in Texas ordered
to split up.
Through 2001, a street huddle
could earn the San Antonio youths
a year in jail.
“We believe it is a
godsend for the
the streets around her'
fallen silent since theic
junction was placed,I Jr
community.’
— Rosa Maria Perez

President
“1 am delighted,” Neighborhood
Association President Rosa Maria
Perez was quoted as saying in the
San Antonio Express-News. ‘‘We
believe it is a godsend for the com
munity.”

HOUSTON (AP) — The rail-riding
drifter suspected of nine slayings in three
states retracted a request to drop his
court-appointed attorneys yesterday and
then asked a judge for access to a law li
brary.
Angel Maturino Resendiz, 40. also
apologized yesterday for causing "prob
lems” by sending handwritten notes to
state District Judge Bill Harmon in
which the suspect asked to represent
himself.
The previous notes sparked a hastily
called hearing Thesday. Maturino Re
sendiz, who met with his attorneys later
that night, apparently had a change of
heart afterward.
Now, Maturino Resendiz said he will
allow court-appointed lawyers Allen
Tanner and Rudy Duarte to continue rep
resenting him. The suspect says he still
does not know who will present his case
at trial, however.
Maturino Resendiz\has been held in
the Harris County Jail since his surren
der in El Paso on July 13. He awaits a
Feb. 14 capital murder trial for the 1998
slaying of a Houston-area physician.
