The Texas Attorney General's office said the multi agency probe into Johnny Meadows branding allegations is complete and likely to clear Barker of blame. Meadows testified he was branded in Dallas County jail on Dec. 15 though officials doubt the claim, citing a cold sore remedy and recovered tubes as possible causes. Dallas physician Dr. Charles Baxter and FBI input are part of the review, with a media briefing planned next week in Odessa to outline conclusions and discuss release timing.
