Judge denies Daniel request for new trial
Lyman Daniel’s motion for a new trial was denied by a Federal judge in Amarillo on Friday March 9. He was also sentenced to three years in prison and two years supervised release for burning his Wellington auto parts and repair business on October 21, 1988. Daniel could have faced 33 to 41 months. Credit for good time may reduce prison time to about two years and 249 days. Supervised release starts after prison. Daniel, convicted in December 1989, sought a new trial. Judge Mary Lou Robinson denied after hearing testimony from Daniel’s attorney Frank Hernandez and Assistant U.S. Attorney James Farren. Hernandez argued grand jury and trial testimony by Michael Mazzie should not have been admissible. Mazzie testified he saw Daniel lock the business door before the fire. The defense noted Mazzie’s grand jury and trial testimony differed. See DANIEL Page 2.
