Court tosses man’s life sentences for sex abuse
A New Boston, Texas, man sentenced to two life sentences plus 20 years for child sex abuse at the end of a Bowie County jury trial last summer is getting a second shot at justice. The 6th District Court of Appeals headquartered in Texarkana tossed out the convictions and sentences assessed 61-year-old Donald Harrell Jr. last August in an opinion issued Thursday.
