Trials of ex lawmen to stay in Chambers County
Two former Chambers County sheriff's deputies will stay in Chambers County as a district court judge denied motions to move their trials due to media coverage. Former Chief Deputy Dearl Hardy and former Deputy John Joslin were in Judge Carroll Wilborn's 334th District Court, each facing indictments for aggravated perjury tampering with a government document and official oppression related to false drunken driving charges against Vernon Coates in 2001.
