Skelton pretrial could be lengthy, Judge says
District Judge Gene Ater warned that the Wednesday pretrial for John Skelton may be lengthy owing to 116 motions filed by Austin attorney David Botsford for the 55 year old defendant who faces four attempted murder for hire indictments. The pretrial was moved from Fort Worth to Odessa though the trial remains in Fort Worth. Skelton appeals a 1983 car bombing murder conviction that led to a death sentence.
