Odessa area grapples with phone outages and backup systems
Robert Wagner of the Ector County Emergency Communications District notes public safety lines suffer when Southwestern Bell fails. Medical Center Hospital cites radio calls and an internal emergency phone system as backups, while Women's and Children's Hospital uses a backup cellular system. Odessa Police report limited outgoing calls, prompting officers to increase routine patrols and check businesses in their sectors.

Upton states a motion for rehearing is being filed and expects the court to revisit its ruling after reviewing new evidence the jury did not see. Gunter says the defense denied a conspiracy existed between the informant and sheriff and argues the appellate court failed to allow disproving it. The defense asserts the jury believed a conspiracy and contends her rights were violated.
