Ex-Kickapoo chairman wants release pending trial
Wednesday, February 2, 2005
The ex-chairman of the Kickapoo Tribe of Texas asked a federal judge on Monday to be released from jail pending his trial on corruption charges.
Of the seven people charged with stealing more than $900,000 from the tribe, Raul Garza Sr. is the only one to remain locked up. The other defendants, all non-Indians, are free on bond.
Garza says he will agree in advance to be extradited from Mexico if he happens to travel across the border. The tribe has a reservation there.
