AUSTIN (AP) – A former McLennan County chief prosecutor said Monday he was astounded when present District attorney Vic Feazell asked for a share of legal fees when he got drunken driving cases dismissed or reduced.
“He told me that he wanted to participate in our fees,” testified Don Hall, who was district attorney in 1963-66 and a former law partner of Feazell. “He said he had done us a lot of favors and we had made money as a result of those favors.”
“I asked him what he meant,” said Hall, who the last scheduled government witness in the three-week old federal court bribery trial of Feazell, 35.
“He said he wanted a mathematical percentage of cases dismissed,” Hall said.
