If it were not for some technicalities, our system of
* justice would better serve society.
The Court of Appeals in Corpus Christ! ordered a new
trial for Gary Ray Barber, 28, because, judges said, items
admitted into evidence were obtained without a search
warrant.
Barber was sentenced to life Imprisonment for the
murder of 4-year-old Tommy Lott in what authorities
described as the worst child abuse case in the Harris
County history.
The evidence against Barber was overwhelming. It is a
wonder he did not get the death penalty. Now the state
may be forced to try him again and run the risk of not be-
ing able to make as strong a case as prosecutors did in the
first trial because of witness absences and time lapse.
The district attorney’s office said one of the items men-
tioned in the appeals court decision was not admitted into
evidence. The state said it will appeal to the Texas Court
of Criminal A
Obviously irritated by the reversal, a spokesman for
the DA’s office said if the Barber case is retried, it will be
done without those (items obtained without a search war-
rant). He feels the outcome will be the same.
The appeals court opinion said, “Since the record lacks ,,, „ , . .... .. . .
