Fannin County Man Must Serve Term
Austin reports the Court of Criminal Appeals dismissed the appeal of S. E. Goss of Fannin County after he accepted executive clemency while his murder conviction was on appeal. Goss, sentenced to 25 years in Hunt County, had his term commuted to two years by former Governor Ferguson, a move the court ruled did not permit further prosecution of the appeal. He must now serve the reduced sentence, and a bond pending appeal was denied.
