For some reason this link will not open here. I took it from a post by Doug Caddy at Ed forum. Of interest was this:
File - In this Sept. 25, 1962 file photo, Billie Sol Estes, right, confers with his attorneys, John Cofer, center, and John Dennison during recess in trial in Tyler, Texas. Estes, the flamboyant Texas huckster and con man has died at age 88. Hood County Sheriff Roger Deed says Estes was found dead in his Hood County, Texas, home by a caregiver early Tuesday, May 14, 2013. (AP Photo/Ferd Kaufman, File)

Those who would like to put distance between Estes, LBJ and Mac Wallace should note that a big connection here is John Cofer. When Mac Wallace walked up to John KInsner and shot him point blank. LBJ attorney John Cofer "worked his magic" in Austin's 299th District court and got Wallace a five years suspended sentence. He never did a day in jail or any probation. He literaly got away with murder. So here we see LJB attorney Cofer
then representing Estees.
