Sandblom Acquitted as DA Failed to Appear in Court
In Corpus Christi, 40 year old Paul Amast Sandblom was acquitted on state securities and related charges after Nueces County District Attorney Sam L. Jones failed to appear. Judge Archie S. Brown criticized the absence and noted possible dereliction of duty, while noting Sandblom’s federal conviction and 18 year prison sentence. The trial proceeded without Jones after a telephone check showed he would not attend. witnesses were sought, including Reverend Glen Norman, who was said to be on a preaching mission in Brazil. The judge ruled the law required acquittal once a jury was impaneled and the prosecutor sought dismissal.
