San Jacinto Newstimes - November 2007

COLDSPRING – Twenty-six indictments were returned by San Jacinto Grand Jury members during the month of September 2007.
Among those indicted is Billy Gene Marshall on charges of capital murder.
Marshall, who is currently incarcerated in Oklahoma on capital murder charges there, was indicted in San Jacinto County Sept. 7 for the Oct. 28, 2004 capital murder of Oscar Davis, according to San Jacinto County Criminal District Attorney Bill Burnett.
Burnett said that Marshall admitted going to the Davis house, located on FM 1127 in Shepherd, to purchase marijuana, but denied going inside the house where Davis’ body was found.
“A hand print inside the house made with Davis’s blood was later identified as that of Marshall’s,” Burnett said.
“I doubt Marshall, 53, will ever be returned to Texas for trial since he is facing capital murder charges in Oklahoma,” Burnett said.
According to the grand jury indictment, Davis was stabbed to death with a knife and an object unknown to the grand jury while Marshall was in the course of committing or attempting to rob Davis.
