Garcia murder trial to resume after competency ruling
District judge R L McKim ruled Leonard Garcia competent to resume the murder trial, noting his problems appear to involve personal safety. The hearing followed Garcia being hospitalized with a nervous disorder on May 31, delaying proceedings in the Dowd murder case. The Garcias face trial in Odessa for the death of William Teddy Dowd, shot at a motel on Oct 28, 1982, with testimony showing conflicting accounts of a debt and heroin ties.
