The Odessa American from Odessa, Texas • 8

2B ODESSA AMERICAN Monday, June 24, 1991 Death row inmate tees trial Bioir The American Jackson, an alleged associate in a Dallas-based marijuana ring that Camacho ran, fled Dallas after 'he kidnapping and was captured by the FBI in January in Los Angeles after he was featured on the television program, "America's Most Wanted." Jackson also faces state murder and kidnapping charges. Camacho and Jackson are accused of holding Ms. Banks and her son for ransom several days in a North Dallas apartment. Camacho, Spencer Charles Stanley and George David Cooke then took Banks and Andre to Oklahoma, where Camacho ordered Stanley to kill them, according to the indictment. During Camacho's murder trial last year, witnesses testified that Camacho ordered Stanley to dig a grave, throw the 3-year-old boy into it and then shoot him.

According to the testimony, Camacho also told Stanley to kill Banks. Stanley has been charged in the federal indictment, but U.S. District Judge A. Joe Fish ruled him incompetent to stand trial because of a "severe mental defect" caused in part by drug, alcohol and inhalant abuse, according to court documents. Cooke, 27, pleaded guilty to three state murder charges and federal kidnapping charges and is serving three life sentences in state prison and a 24-year federal prison sentence.

Camacho also is charged in state court with the beating death of his former girlfriend, Pamela Miller, 23. Witnesses at the capital murder trial testified that' Camacho killed Miller by beating her and running over her with a car. He later ran her body through a tree mulcher in Stephenville, about 90 miles southwest of Dallas, according to testimony. FBI agents found her dismembered remains. DALLAS (AP) A former drug kingpin and death row inmate whose 1990 murder trial was described as the most grotesque since the Charles Manson killings faces trial this week on federal kidnapping charges.

Genaro "Geno" Ruiz Camacho, 36, will be tried for the May 1988 abduction of a woman and her 3-year-old son, who were held for ransom in a drug debt and later shot to death in a shallow grave near Lake Texoma. U.S. Attorney Marvin Collins said federal authorities are trying Camacho for kidnapping despite his death sentence because "in years past, in excess of 40 percent of the death penalty sentences in Texas have been reversed on appeal." If convicted on all five charges in their indictment, Camacho and co-defendant Juan Jackson, 27, could receive three life sentences in federal prison with no chance of parole. Camacho was convicted last year of killing David Wilburn, 25, who on May 20, 1988, unwittingly walked into a house in Dallas where Camacho and three associates were trying to collect a drug debt. After Camacho shot and killed Wilburn, the federal indictment alleges, Camacho and Jackson kidnapped Evellyn Banks, 31, and her son, Andre, from the house.

Camacho's capital murder trial in state District Court last year featured some of the most horrifying testimony and evidence ever presented here, including accounts of a woman's body being ground by a tree mulcher. The trial judge called the case "the most grotesque and bizarre set of facts ever heard in a courtroom in this nation since the Charles Manson killings in California." Prosecutors decided not to try Camacho on murder charges in the deaths of the kidnap victims after he received the death penalty in Wilburn's slaying.
