Addison, Texas 75001 N. Richland Hills, TX. 76180 (972)385-1911 (817)577-2300 Locally owned managed since 1983 OD FORT CAPITAL MURDER TRIAL Witness: covered He added that Davontae was so deprived of protein that his body had begun burning muscle and fat tissue for energy. The lack of nutrition also made it difficult for his body to fight off infections from the scars, Konzelmann said. Davontae had minimal amounts of fat tissue around his heart, which Konzelmann called "very unusual." Photos showed that a fresh wound around the boy's left leg was wrapped with a sock.

"It shows that there was an understanding that he required treatment, although this was inadequate," Konzelmann said when prosecutor Mitch Poe asked him to comment on the makeshift bandage. Konzelmann testified that about 3 ounces of what was believed to be noodles and PediaSure, a nutrition drink for children, were found in Davontae's stomach. Under cross-examination, defense attorney Michael Heiskell asked Konzelmann whether his testimony indicated that Davontae was being fed. Konzelmann emphasized that Davontae was not getting "adequate" amounts of food. Heiskell contends that the death was caused by incompe- A former medical weighed examiner tells jurors that was he initially thought Davon- 2004.

tae Williams was killed by that blunt trauma. signs he By NATHANIEL JONES STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER FORT WORTH Davontae Williams' body was so scarred and bruised that a former Tarrant County medical examiner initially thought the 9-year-old's death had been caused by some kind of blunt trauma, the man testified Friday. Jurors in the capital murder trial of Lisa Ann Coleman were shown photos of Williams' autopsy. The images depicted the child's body marked heavily with old and fresh scars. They also showed his knobby knees and emaciated legs.

Coleman, 30, is accused of participating in the 2004 starving death of Davontae. If convicted, she could face the death penalty. His mother, Marcella Williams, faces her own capital murder trial later. Earlier Friday, jurors heard from Davontae's first-grade teacher, who recalled a child she might have mistaken for a kindergartner by his size and one who often tried to go through the lunch line twice. Testimony is expected to continue Monday before state District Judge Everett Young.

Daniel Konzelmann, a former deputy Tarrant County medical examiner, testified that Davontae's death was caused by malnutrition and minor pneumonia. The boy COURTS Sex-assault case goes to the jury By MELODY McDONALD STAR STAFF WRITER FORT WORTH Jurors deliberated more than eight hours Friday before adjourning for the weekend in the case of a former nurse accused of sexually assaulting a partially paralyzed stroke patient in 2003. The jurors DOWNS are to return Monday morning to continue their deliberations in the trial of Kenneth Wayne Downs, 39, a former contract nurse for Huguley Memorial Medical Center who is accused of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a disabled person. The maximum sentence is life in prison. During the trial, a 65-yearold woman, who has trouble communicating because of the strokes she has had, testified that on Oct.

21, 2003, Downs rolled her on her side, injected her with something that made her sleepy and sexually assaulted her by putting an unknown object in her rectum. Later, she said, he rubbed lotion on her legs and fondled her before penetrating her vaginally with his finger. When Downs testified, he denied the accusation and suggested that the woman had been confused and felt violated because he took her temperature rectally. Defense attorney Mark Rosteet urged jurors to acquit his client, saying that Downs may have broken hospital rules but that he had committed no crime. He reminded jurors that a rape exam revealed no evidence of trauma.

Prosecutor Robert Foran told jurors that sexual assaults don't always cause bruising or trauma, that the woman had no reason to make a false accusation and that she waited to report the assault to her daughter because her daughter understands her speech best. Boy was with scars 35.8 pounds when he discovered dead July 26, Konzelmann also noted Davontae's body showed had been bound. ARLINGTON City earns high marks for services By SALLY CLAUNCH STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER ARLINGTON More than 8 out of 10 residents consider city services such as fire, police and ambulance response and garbage collection to be good or excellent, according to an annual survey presented Friday to the City Council. The 457 survey respondents gave the Fire Department the highest marks, with 90 percent ranking it as good or excellent. Eighty percent of respondents rated garbage collection, ambulance services, libraries, water, parks, recycling and the Police Department as good or excellent.

Survey participants cited several neighborhood problems, with 57 percent reporting that speeding was a major or minor problem. About 40 percent of survey participants said that street conditions, car burglaries, residential burglaries and street lighting were major or minor problems. More than half of respondents cited congested traffic, speeding, red-light running, construction and excessive signal lights as major or minor problems. The city conducted the survey in December, making more than 16,000 phone calls. Survey participants are 18 or older.

Sally Claunch, 817-548-5566 Jean Stokes, who taught Davontae in the first grade at Webb Elementary School in southeast Arlington, testified that it took less than two sentences for her to form a special bond with the boy in fall 2002. During a class reading exercise, Davontae walked up to Stokes, tugged on her sleeve and asked, "When's recess?" Stokes testified, smiling as she recounted for jurors their first interaction. Stokes said Davontae was a least a foot shorter than his classmates. Unlike some first-graders, Stokes said, "Davontae was not afraid. He was excited, but just unfamiliar with how school worked." Stokes said Davontae had behavioral problems and spent most of his time sitting next to her in class.

"He was like a puppy dog learning to sit," she said. "He'll see a butterfly, and he'll have to go investigate. He seemed academically capable of learning, but he was just very distractible." Stokes said that on several occasions, when Williams was picking up her son, she spoke with the mother a about how to help Davontae. "I tried to tell her what we were working on," Stokes said. "I tried to tell her to work with Davontae on picking up cues."
