Taking Baseball Back to its Roots: The Alpine Cowboys 5/25/13
Special Prosecutor to Examine Dallas DA's Case 3/15/13

DALLAS - A North Texas judge says he'll appoint a special prosecutor in
the contempt case against the Dallas County district attorney.
In a Thursday email, state District Judge Bob Brotherton of Wichita Falls
said he expects to appoint an attorney next week as special prosecutor in the
case involving District Attorney Craig Watkins. A Dallas judge held Watkins in
contempt last week after Watkins refused to answer questions about his office's
prosecution of an oil fortune heir.
The heir's attorneys say Watkins was doing a favor for a political donor.
Brotherton says he'll schedule a hearing on the case once a prosecutor is in
place.
