Gonzalez says Wilson shielded from scandal in Sharpstown case
Gonzalez claims Will Wilson protected amid the Sharpstown stock fraud probe. He asserts prosecutors may be guilty of crimes they accuse others of. Sharp received a light sentence and immunity for testimony, while other targets like Gov. Preston Smith and Speaker Gus Mutscher face indictment in days. Wilson aided Sharp from 1960, helping acquire National Bankers Life stock later tied to frauds. DOJ could have pursued the case without Sharp’s deal, Gonzalez says. Sharp is also named in a civil suit by Fidelity Bank over a 500000 note to Jesuit Fathers of Houston.
