If a deal existed, “it would seem likely that someone else was in volved,” Blagg told the San Antonio Express-News in Tuesday’s editions. “They’re both in jail. How else could it happen?” Rocha’s own lawyer agreed with prosecutors, contending Monday that his client lied when he signed the affidavit that took back previous testimony. A former bookie, Rocha was the only witness in Blackthorne’s trial to offer firsthand knowledge of how the slaying was initiated by the wealthy entrepreneur, who faces life imprisonment when he is sen tenced next month. The affidavit, filed in court Fri day, is now part of Blackthorne’s bid for a new trial. The businessman’s lawyers insist, despite federal au thorities’ suspicions, Rocha received nothing in return for recanting his accusations. “It’s a waste of time, but let them investigate,” said Blackthorne attor ney Richard Lubin. But he would not discuss the affi davit’s origins, other than to say the statements came from a handwritten letter Rocha sent to another of Black thorne’s attorneys. Patrick Peranteau, a lawyer for Rocha, said the gambler apparent ly signed the affidavit after he be gan to suspect prosecutors would renege on a promise to help him in exchange for his testimony. The golf hustler, now serving a life term in Florida for his part in the slaying, had hoped to win a re duced sentence. However, Blagg said Rocha’s af fidavit represented a breach of his agreement with the government and prosecutors are no longer obliged to support their former witness. —News in Brief— Computers may help pilots in low visibility DALLAS (AP) — Computer generated technology could soon help pilots safely direct their air craft to runways in areas of low visibility. Video screens and satellite images are being used in test flights at Dallas-Fort Worth Inter national Airport. The screens are showing images of flight paths so detailed that the shoreline and houses on nearby Lake Grapevine are visible at night. NASA test pilot Harry Versty- nen said the technology makes landing so simple, “anybody who has ever played a computer game could almost jump right in. ; and do this.” NASA researchers say the test flights at D-FW, the nation’s third busiest passenger airport, could result in technology that will save lives within the next five years.
