Melinda Harmon did not abuse
her discretion in finding
Leggett in contempt of court
for refusing to supply subpoe
naed information.
“Ms. Leggett understands
the legal process can mean
more time in jail,” DeGeurin
said. “She’s there at the insis
tence of the government and
prepared to resist the oppres
sion and intimidation to assert
the right of the public to a free
and independent press.”
Leggett was researching the
death of Doris Angleton, who
was found shot to death in her
Houston home April 16, 1997.
Her husband, Robert Angleton,
and his brother, Roger, were
charged with capital murder.
Prosecutors alleged that
Robert Angleton, a millionaire
and former bookie, hired his
brother to kill his wife to pre
vent her from getting millions
in a divorce settlement.
Roger Angleton spoke with
Leggett before committing sui
cide in jail. He left behind
notes confessing, to the slaying,
saying he planned the murder
and framed his brother. Leggett
has given investigators tapes of
her interviews with him.
Federal prosecutors contend
Leggett is not a journalist and
therefore does not fall under
the First Amendment’s protec
tion of the press. Leggett has
not published a book or news
articles.

Doctor warns
Alamo residents
not to drink water
ALAMO (AP) — A doctor is warning his patients not to drink
the tap water in Alamo because it could be hazardous to their
health.
Obstetrician Jorge Miranda said Monday he is concerned
about the high levels of a potentially cancer-causing chemical in
the city’s water.
Trihalomethane (THM) is formed when chlorine and water
mix during treatment. The byproduct has been shown to cause
cancer in laboratory animals, according to the Environmental
Protection Agency.
City officials sent a letter last week warning water customers
about the THM levels. The letter said the chemical may lead to
increased incidents of spontaneous miscarriages during the first
trimester of pregnancy.
Residents should take the letter seriously, Miranda said.
“We don’t know the extent of the water problem,” he told The
Monitor in Tuesday’s editions. “So right now, were telling all of
our patients in Alamo, especially those of childbearing age, to
seek other alternatives to their drinking water.”
A water plant, scheduled to open in November, will not have
the problem with THM because it will use a different method to
disinfect water, city officials said.
“Fm hoping (the water problem) will just be short term and
patients can go back to drinking tap water,” Miranda said.
Alicia Diehl, a water expert with the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission, said the odds are extremely low of
having a spontaneous miscarriage or getting cancer by drinking
the Alamo tap water.
