Gromer Jeffers reports:
The scuffle over the appointment of the next U.S. attorney for the Dallas-based Northern District escalated Friday, as Sen. John Cornyn urged the White House to choose his preferred candidate. Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins accused the Republican senator of playing petty politics and pushed for his favorite contender.

DA plans to retry man convicted in 1983 University Park killings
Jennifer Emily reports:
It's likely that Billy Allen killed two people in University Park in 1983.
It's just not clear which Billy Allen.
Billy Frederick Allen was convicted of murder that same year and sentenced to 99 years in prison for the slayings of Raven Dannelle Lashbrook, 33, and James Perry Sewell, 46. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals last year ordered a new trial, saying his defense attorney had been ineffective because he hadn't discovered evidence that Billy Wayne Allen might actually have been the killer.
