Gene Hardee. i9iuc; To Tr/ Watson BY MARJORIE MEGD'ERN A local judge will not hear the Jan. 27 trial of 16-ycar-old Rocky Lee Wat son of Elizabethtown in Bladen Coun ty District Court. Watson is charged with death by vehicle in the Oct. 6 automobile acci dent that led to the death of 13th District Judge I.ec J. “Bubba” Greer. No judges in this judicial district, which encompasses Brunswick. Bladen and Columbus counties, want tQ Ka inTJAlvd^ if* *i could not try this man and give him a fair trial,’* said Judge William C. Gore, chief 13th District judge. *i was so personally involved with 'Bubba,' and I think the other judges feel that way.” Gore explained that in such cases, the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts would send a judge from another district, or a retired judge, tn preside. In this instance, because of an overload of cases, an outside judge was already scheduled to hear court in Bladen County next week. Dallas Cameron, assistant director in the Administrative Office of the Courts, said retired Judge Charles Guy will hear the case. 'Also, a prosecutor will probably have to come from outside this district.” said Gore, “and our D.A. (Michael Easley) will ask for either a prosecutor from another district or one from the Attorney General’s of fice.” Easley said, however, that his of fice will handle the prosecution of Watson. “We don’t have to make the decision on his guilt or innocence, so I think we can do it. (Assistant Dislrici Attorney) Tom Hicks will prosecute. We will treat this just as we would any other case.” Gore said Watson's trial should re quire “a half-day at most.” Under N.C. state law, if Watson were con victed. lus sentence could include a fine, imprisonment or both. The max imum sentence would be five years in prison; the presumptive sentence, two years. Watson is represented by GolcLston Wombic of EUubethtown. tsCKs> inVoive No injuries While no injuries were reported in wrecks on Brunswick Coun^ road ways this week, a wet road near Bolivia caused one accident this week that resulted in $3,000 in damages to the driver's truck.
