9 THE COUR'!': And, Hr. Pierce, back in August of
9
10 this year, you ~gan your trial -- actually, it was in fron~ of a
10
!1 visiting judge. You began your trial, and you absconded partial
!l
12 way through the trial. 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. BURKE: No, sir.
16
li TBE COURT: It is therefore the order, judgment,
17

1 that up and let ,yq~ bow? He Is been in Utah, and then ,he was
2 transferred down here. I didn't kr.ow till last night that he was
3 here.
4 THE COURT: All right. If you will look that up.
5 Now, Hr. 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. That is or.e of the thir.gs
24 at issue, you know.
