They co~:~pleted the trial in absentia, and l2 13 you have been apprehended and brought bad to Denton County. l3 14 Is there any reason at law why you should not be l4 15 sentenced at this time? 15 16 MR.

Pierce, I believe that there is some 6 question about whether or not you have the right to appeal this 7 case because I -- there is at least a possibility that the time 8 · for appeal ran while you were still at large and that has expired 9 at this time. I am going to leave Hr. Burke on the case to 10 explore that possibility if you wish to appeal. 11 THE DEfENDANT: Yes, sir. .. ... 12 : , THE COURT: I am .of the opin~on that yo~ probably 13 don't. Mr. Burke is a very line lawyer, and he may be able to • 14 find some law that would convince me othe01ise, so I will leave 15 him on for that purpose. 16 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, could I ask a l1 question? 18 THE COURT: Yes, sir. 19 THE DEFENDANT: How can they use the enhancement 20 paragraph when it wasn't alleged in the indictment, sir? 21 THE COURT: llell, you need to talk to your lawyer 22 about that. 23 THE OEFEND~.NT: Okay.
