Speedy trials set in Burns case for four soldiers
Four soldiers accused in the killing of driver Teo Burns on May 14 near Yon Ormy Road are held in Bexar County jail. Two, who remained in custody, and two, who fled to Mexico and were extradited Tuesday by Sheriff Tobin, face swift court action. Death penalty will be sought for all. International issues delayed the two men’s return, but they are now jailed and will be tried. Each pair offers a different version of who delivered the fatal blow.
