DALLAS – There was a battle in a Dallas County courtroom on Friday over documents not given to defense attorneys for the new trial of convicted “Texas 7” killer Randy Halprin.
Halprin was a member of the “Texas 7” gang that broke out of prison and killed an Irving police officer in 2000.
Part of Friday’s dispute involved the district attorney’s effort to disqualify one of Halprin’s court-appointed defense attorneys because he once worked in the DA’s office.
