Delay Expected In Meat Probe
Harris county grand jury operations face delays as new witnesses emerge in the horse meat inquiry and an attack on a grand jury witness is reviewed. Foreman Gus Dittmar says indictments, potentially up to forty cases, may be pushed to late next week with multiple sessions planned. A meat company owner reported an acid attack on a maid and a garage apartment fire linked to the case while another witness’s home burned earlier, all prompting extended testimony and possible post-taking votes. Experts say natural gas reserves should meet demand for many years.
