Criminal District Attorney Richard Glaser reports that on Thursday, Feb. 23, the Grand Jury met to consider 25 cases, and all but one were true-billed or indicted. The one case was no-billed. So far in 2012, Grand Jurors have returned 55 true bills of indictment. These most recent cases were filed from the following agencies: FCSO - 10, DA’s Office - 5, Bonham PD - 4, DPS - 3, Honey Grove PD - 1, Ladonia PD - 1 and Trenton PD - 1.

It is important to note that an indictment is a formal charge and should not in itself be considered an indication of guilt. All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Dear Editor,

I retired from the ministry one year ago. However, I have not been happy because when God calls you to preach He doesn't retire you. I can't find in the Bible where anyone God called retired. In the United Methodist Church, even though you retire, you are still part of the Annual Conference. I and Liz have thought and prayed over the last year, asking God what direction we should go.

The direction I have taken is to separate myself from the United Methodist Church. I voluntarily turned in my credentials to the North Texas Conference to be put on file. I am no longer part of the United Methodist Church.

Sincerely,

Pastor Willie Johnson
