Texas: Depositions in Capital Case
The judge and prosecutor from a condemned man’s murder trial have been ordered
to testify under oath about accusations they were romantically involved during the case.
The prosecutor, former District Attorney Tom O’Connell of Collin County,
began his deposition shortly after Judge Greg Brewer ruled.
The ruling came two days before Charles Dean Hood is scheduled to be executed.
Mr. Hood’s lawyers sought the ruling to investigate claims
of an improper relationship between the prosecutor and Verla Sue Holland,
a retired state district judge. She is scheduled to be deposed Tuesday.
