[Watchdogs] Trial of former PEC manager Bennie Fuelberg set forNov. 29 in Fredericksburg [Patrick George, Austin American-Statesman]

[Paul Langston]

Watchdogs:

Having the trial of Bennie in the Gilliespie County Court is the best news that I have gotten in years.

What a lot of you pale faces may not know is that the Germans of Fredericksburg are the only group in this United States who made a treaty with the Indians and never broke it.

Benny and  Walter will get a fair trial in that town.  

Sincerely,  Paul Langston

  Trial of former PEC manager Bennie Fuelberg set for Nov. 29 in Fredericksburg
  By Patrick George | Tuesday, August 3, 2010, 11:38 AM 

  The trial of former Pedernales Electric Cooperative General Manager Bennie Fuelberg is set to begin Nov. 29 and will take place in Fredericksburg, according to a recent order signed by State District Judge Dan Mills. 

  The trial will take place in Gillespie County, which is mostly outside the service area of the nation's largest member-owned electric utility. Jury selection will begin on Nov. 29 and the trial is expected to continue into the first week of December.

  Mills ruled in June that the trials of Fuelberg, the co-op's former general manager, and Walter Demond, a former counsel for the co-op, will be held outside of Blanco County. Prosecutors from the Texas attorney general's office did not oppose the defense motions for a change of venue. Fuelberg and Demond have opted to be tried separately, defense attorneys have said, with Fuelberg being tried first.

  Fuelberg and Demond each face three felony charges: misapplication of fiduciary duty in excess of $200,000, theft of property in excess of $200,000 and money laundering between $100,000 and $200,000. Through their lawyers, both have denied the charges.

  Fuelberg's and Demond's attorneys have said that trying the men in Blanco County, where jurors would almost certainly be co-op members, could influence the trials' outcome.
