change in the wind ... Change is in the wind for the Voice for the Defense. As many of you may already know, David Richards has resigned as Voice editor because of health concerns. The TCDLA board and staff truly appreciate the outstanding job he has done for the Association during the last few years, and wish him well. George Scharmen, who has been our feature article editor, will also be resigning. Thanks to George for all his help with editing articles and motions. When you see David or George, be sure to thank them for all the hard work they have done for TCDLA. Taking over temporarily for David is Rebecca Davis, who will serve as interim editor for the July/August issue. Rebecca, a 2004 graduate of Texas Wesleyan University, hails from Weatherford, where she is in private practice. Rebecca has kindly agreed to assist with publication of the current issue. She will then become feature articles editor, assisting Emmett Harris, who will assume the position on a permanent basis in September. EDITOR’s COMMENT Emmett practices law in Uvalde. His duties as Voice editor, which is an officer position, will include sitting on the TCDLA Executive Committee and Board of Directors and attending quarterly meetings. Emmett also serves on the boards of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Project and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Educational Institute. Please welcome both Emmett and Rebecca, and let them know how much you appreciate their contributions to the Voice and the TCDLA membership. Next month expect Emmett’s first column as Voice editor. Emmett brings with him a wealth of experience as a criminal defense attorney, both trial and appellate. We look forward to his guidance and ideas for the Voice and for TCDLA.
