Grand Saline man convicted in unusual misdemeanor trial
Jerry Hocutt of Grand Saline was found guilty by a Van Zandt County jury of misdemeanor theft between 500 and 1500 dollars. The case, arising from a used car lot on Highway 80, followed a three day Grand Jury proceeding in April and a three day trial plus 45 minutes of deliberation. The DA noted misdemeanors rarely go before a Grand Jury or to district court juries, citing public official involvement or high publicity as common triggers. Witnesses testified about a 1955 Chevrolet pickup missing its engine and other alleged acts at Hocutt's shop, with police detailing the investigation.
