Appeals Court Highlights Trial Questions in Brown Slaying Case
The appeals court ruled Dr. Ray was not impeached but only allowed to change his mind, affecting testimony weight.

The case, moved from Lubbock to El Paso for venue, involves key witness Griffin and defendant Brown, once free on bond, now jailed pendingDallas surrender. Brown, a former Shallowater High School favorite, faced long legal proceedings as 1975 looms.
