This was his goal when he started rehab, so now he’s achieved that one. ” His next goal, she said, is to be home in January and return to the Brewer campus for the next semester. “It’s not so much the school work that he misses,” she said. “He just wants to get back here and hang out.

After two days of deliberations, jurors told state District Judge Manny Alvarez Saturday that they were split 11-1 for conviction. “They were hopelessly deadlocked,” Alvarez said. “It was disappointing to me that it happened. We spent a lot of time and money on this case.” “We’ll have to start all over,” he said. Prosecutors said they plan to retry Leon David Dorsey IV, 23. He’s charged in the robbery and fatal shooting of Blockbuster employee James Armstrong, 26, who was assistant manager of the store in Dallas’ Casa Linda area. Another employee, Brad Lindsey, 20, also was killed. Dorsey will remain at Lew Sterrett Justice Cen ter until the case is resolved, said his attorney, Doug Parks. The suspect is serving a 60-year sen tence for an unrelated murder of a convenience store owner in Ennis. The seven-woman, five-man jury deliberated more than five hours Friday and said twice it was at an impasse. After two hours on Saturday, jurors said they had no hope of reaching a verdict. When Alvarez granted the defense motion for a mistrial, Lindsey’s mother rushed out of the courtroom, saying she was too angry to talk about the case. “It’s real frustrating,” lead prosecutor Toby Shook said. “It’s been five and a half years since their boys were killed. My heart really goes out to them [the relatives].” Jurors declined comment as they left the Frank Crowley Criminal Courts Building. Attorneys, who spoke with jurors about their deliberations, said they promised the judge that they wouldn’t dis cuss why the panel deadlocked. Parks said only that the juror who held out sim ply was not convinced by the prosecution that Dorsey was guilty. The defense maintained that the prosecution had no physical evidence linking Dorsey to the crime: no fingerprints, no weapon and only a fuzzy tape from a store surveillance camera. No charges were filed for four years after the slayings until the case was assigned to two veter an detectives who said Dorsey confessed after he was re-questioned about the case. The judge said he and the lawyers in the case have other trials scheduled, so he did not expect to schedule a retrial before February. sparks protest in Housti Supak said t “Polymers. ” Wlorid HOUSTON (AP) — More than 100 people peacefully picketed one of the nation’s largest churches yesterday over a booklet that calls upon Southern Baptists to pray for Hindus’ deliverance from the “power of Satan.” “We want all people to understand that re ligious intolerance is rearing its head in this country,” Houston attorney Amit Misra, a leader of the coalition of local Hindu groups who organized the protest said. “Some people aren't aware of the type of hate that is being preached by mainstream churches.” The booklet, distributed recently to coin cide with Divali, the major Hindu festival of lights, said Hindus have no concept of sin or personal responsibility and “worship gods which are not God.” “Pray that the darkness and the power of Satan will be broken,” the guide asks. Similar guides have been published previ ously by the Southern Baptist Convention’s In ternational Mission Board asking Baptists to pray for the conversion of Jews and Muslims. A booklet focusing on Buddhists is upcoming. Second Baptist Church members said they were aware last week of the planned demon stration outside of the massive west Houston church complex. “1 think it is our God-given responsibility to pray for them to be converted,” Second Baptist member Tara Imani said after speak ing to one woman who was demonstrating. “She asked me what 1 think about [the Hin du belief there are] many paths,” Imani said. “I said that there is one path. If there were many paths, then [Christians] would be fools. If they were right, it would mean Jesus was a liar, God was a liar. ” Imani added that she was at first enraged when she saw the picketers, carrying signs with*messages such as “Religious intolerance is un-American.” However, she noted that the protesters’ presence could allow them to “see a little of Jesus in our eyes and hearts.” Misra said he has no problem with the Baptist belief in proselytization, but that the booklet is a hurtful example of carrying out the mission. At least one leading Baptist agreed. “We believe we ought to preach the Gospel to everybody, too,” Rev. Charles Wade, the pastor of First Baptist Church of Arlington and executive director of the Baptist General Con vention of Texas said. “But we don’t agree amor Florida voter a new po shows.
