d.e.w. tel I! Starks, Shumate Say Nuptial Vows
by d.e.w.
THEY SAY crime doesn’t pay. . but it certainly does cost a
lot A case in point is the recently-concluded capital
murder trial of 20-year-old Keith Douglas Armstrong of
Cleburne He was given the death penalty Feb 16 in 18th
Judicial District Court for the robbery and shooting death of
Charlie Maldonado in a Cleburne supermarket in the early
morning hours of Aug. 4. . When all the bills are in, it easily
could be one of the most expensive murder trials in recent
Johnson County history. . At their last meeting, county com-
missioners were tapped for $15,612.97 to pay the salary, lodg
ing, food and security for the nine-woman-three-man jury,
one of whom was sequestered from the first day of jury ques-
tioning on Jan 18. . Still to come is a bill for an estimated
$18,000 to pay for a 3,000-page transcript of trial proceedings
to be used in the automatic appeal, which all defendants are
awarded in a capital murder trial. . and fees for Ben Hill
Turner and Curtis Pritchard, court-appointed attorneys,
whose bill has not yet been submitted to the commissioners'
court Their legal services to the defendant began in mid
September, three-and-a-half months before the 22-day trial
began on Jan 18 Court-appointed fees are usually set by
the judge who appoints the attorneys and are based on the
amount of time spent in preparation and expense of prepara
tion, trial time, and any expenses incurred during these two
phases. According to records in County Treasurer Mildred
llonea’s office, the bill county commissioners have already
okayed is $1,620 for jury selection (over 200 jurors were
called at $6 per diem apiece; the 12 who were finally selected
received $8 per day); $2,016 "pay" to the 12 jurors who
served during the 22-day trial; $8,031.18 for their lodging at a
Cleburne motel; $2,111.64 for jurors’ meals, $131 65 for laun
dry and $1.709 50 to deputy sheriffs who accompanied jurors
to and from the courtroom and were security guards at the
motel. Who pays the tab’’. The answer is almost
obvious You, the taxpayer.
