I have just signed back on this board. If you did not receive any answers, or would like more I have it. Tho the email above shows Howard, that was my husband, and I am actually the one doing Christopher research. My email is daphnecrose(a)sbcglobal.net. The above email is no longer any good.
Daphne Christopher Crose
The verdict came in today around 4:00 pm, the
defendant, who we all believe to be the trigger man in
our son's murder was found "GUILTY" of murder.
Tomorrow the punishment part of the trial will begin.
This person who has smirked at us since the beginning,
who believed that he was going to get away scott free,
will for once get something back for his wrong
doings. Don't misunderstand me, this person has NO
remorse, thinks its all a joke, and seems proud from
what we've heard about him bragging about wrongs hes
committed, he is plain and simple, "bad news", and
needs to be put away as long as the law allows.
Thanks,
David Christopher Sr.

The trial portion on the murder of our son, David
Christopher Jr., murdered 5-5-02 completed today.
Tomorrow the closing arguments will take place, and
the jury should retire to try and reach a verdict.
This is in San Antonio, Texas for those that may not
be up to date. We the family wish to thank all of you
that have been with us through this. I won't claim
that all the loose ends will be tied, but this is a
major step for the family towards closure. Again,
thanks for all of your help, support, and prayer.
Thanks,
David Christopher Sr.
PS; This is only on one of the defendants, there will
be at least one more trial, or plea to endure. Any
friends that are in the San Antonio area that would
care to drop by, we will be in the "old" Courthouse,
down in the basement at the "Impact" Courtroom. Since
the trial went so fast and the defense had no defense,
I am hopeful that we will see a fast return on the
deliberation as well.

David,
For a trial to change courtrooms and judges is a pretty common thing. They
call in retired judges when they are overloaded or sometimes when a judge
doesn't want to hear a particular trial.
I had a court case once to get shifted to a retired judge and the outcome was
better than I expected.
Don't give up hope....God works in mysterious ways.
Love you Cuz.
I am sending this info out to all of you to keep you
informed as to the status of our son's murder trial. I
don't know if these latest events are a cause for
alarm, if its normal, but it is sudden and drastic. I
happened to call the DA's office today checking for
changes or info updates on the docket reading that we
were supposed to have this coming Monday morning. I
talked to our "victim's advocate" for the 175th
District Court, and asked her about the docket call.
She then proceeded to tell me the latest, saying that
the trial was shifted over to the old Courthouse down
in the basement in the "Impact" Courtroom. She said
there would be no docket reading, that jury selection
would start Monday, and that trial would start in the
same Courtroom on Tuesday. She also informed me that
our Judge that was to preside over the trial had been
replaced with a retired Judge, Judge Priest. Also, the
prosecutor that was set is also changed. The number 1
chair who was supposed to prosecute has been replaced
by an assistant, and the attorney that served as the
"intake" attorney will also assist. I don't know what
all this means, maybe I should have checked that the
defendants were still the same, as "EVERYTHING" else
is different???
Different Courtroom?? (in BASEMENT in OLD
Courthouse??)
Different Judge?? (out of retirement??)
Different Prosecutors??
Sudden and without notice??
It was Friday morning when I called, and they hadn't
called us to inform us ANYTHING. I asked what were we
going to do, learn about all of this when we showed
for the docket reading on Monday, but was assured that
they intended to call us that day, she said they had
just learned about it themselves the day before. When
I asked why this was happening, the only explanation I
received was that the "Impact Courtroom" became
available for use at the end of the year, and that our
Judge from the 175th decided to shift our trial over
to that basement, in the "old" courthouse. Is is just
me, or does this seem odd to anyone else?
Thanks to all of you, cousin's, researchers, friends
all, for being here with us through this time, this is
not easy, we appreciate having family and friends to
lean on when all else seems dark.
David Christopher Sr. and Family
