Turnaround periods cited for refinery maintenance after blast
The refinery near Houston operates around the clock for 18 months to five years before repairs. About 1,100 employees plus 2,200 contractors were present when the blast sent flames into the sky and ash onto the grounds, killing 15 contract workers. Investigators from OSHA and the chemical safety board arrived, with lawsuits seeking evidence preservation.

Jarman seeks halfway house as weapon case moves ahead
Jarman’s attorney Eva Marie Leahey challenges links between Jarman and a Mossburg shotgun saying no direct or physical evidence ties him to the weapon. Prosecutors push tests on the shotgun to proceed, with a potential 15 year prison term if convicted plus fines and supervised release. Jarman was arrested after a 90 minute Odessa SWAT stand off and was moved to federal custody in January amid indictment delays. District Attorney John Smith says trial could start but requires test results before proceeding.
