SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A part-time golf bookie who
supported his family of four with wagers against a South
Texas millionaire is expected to continue his testimony by
explaining how the high-stakes golf games led to murder.
Daniel Rocha, 30, is serving a life prison term in Flori
da for solicitation of capital murder in the 1997 shooting
and stabbing death of Sheila Bellush, a mother of
quadruplets, in her Sarasota, Fla., home.
During his trial, Rocha testified that Allen Black-
thorne, 45, paid him to arrange Bellush's death.
Blackthorne is now on trial for interstate conspiracy to
commit murder for hire and interstate domestic violence.
Bellush moved to Florida after a 10-year divorce and
custody battle over her and Blackthorn's then teen-age
children. She was killed six weeks after moving out of
Texas. Her 2-year-old quadruplets were discovered un
harmed, two of them crawling in their mother's blood.
The San Antonio businessman is expected to draw
upon a wealth of financial resources in his defense, while
his legal team has reportedly prepped for their day in
court two years before Blackthorne was even indicted.
He has denied any involvement in the crime.
Rocha's testimony on Monday centered on how he
met Blackthorne. He said the wealth generated in high
stakes golfing games brought the weekend bookie, his
wife and three children out of a cramped home with an
aunt and into a home of their own.
"I went from living paycheck to paycheck to some
times $10,000 to $20,000 a week,'' Rocha testified.
Testimony ended Monday before Rocha explained
the murder-for-hire plot.
In previous testimony, Rocha described how he en
listed the help of a friend, Samuel Gonzales, 29,
agreed to find someone willing to do the job for$4,ll
Jose Luis Del Toro Jr., 23, Gonzales' cousin, isaci
of being the hit man.
Testifying against his friend after pleading guilh
solicitation of capital murder, Gonzales said Rochati
him the money and the plan came from Blackthorne
Gonzales has been sentenced to 19 years in a
prison.
Del Toro, a former high school football starinUvali
spent 20 months in a Mexican jail after fleeing across* a Ithougl
border. He was extradited last July 12 to face a firsk |/\ s tuden
gree murder charge in Sarasota. His trial is scheduled® \. s ider th
next month in Florida. , *1 licks debit car
Also Monday, prosecutors had Bellush familyeighth won
bers describe the crime scene.
Jamie Bellush, Sheila's husband and father of thf
quadruplets, testified her heard of the murderoni
phone after being paged by police.
Upon arriving home, he saw crime tape across his cj
veway and an ambulance nearby. Then he askedifaj
of the officers were Christians. "I asked them topn
with me," Jamie Bellush testified.
