used in the commission of the act.) Watts did not use a traditional weapon, such as a gun or a knife, when he attacked Lori Lister and Melinda Aguilar.

Judge Doug Shaver said, in regard to the deadly-weap- on inclusion, “We’re still looking into that. I will do everything possible to write the judgment to show Watts’s violent nature,” but he did not know if the Texas Department of Corrections would be bound to disallowing good-time credits.

The judge had one week to make it stick.

The following week, on September 3, 1982, at 11:15 A.M., Watts stood before Judge Shaver. The atmosphere had taken on a more serious tone. Prosecuting attorney Ira Jones wore a bulletproof vest inside the courtroom. Apparently, the public dissatisfaction rose to an unaccept-able level with threats made against the judge, all of the attorneys, and Watts.

“All the people in the courtroom were advised to wear them,” Harris County ADA Ira Jones informed the media in regard to the bulletproof vest. Watts included.

Judge Shaver had also relocated the proceedings to a more easily securable courtroom. He ordered a metal detector to be set up at the front entrance of the courtroom. Thirty minutes before the hearing began, the judge had the courtroom completely cleared out and swept through with a bomb-sniffing German shepherd. He was not taking any chances.

Kathy Gregory, Meg Fossi’s sister-in-law, sat in the gallery, as did Harriett Semander. Watts’s girlfriend, Sheila Williams, also sat in the crowd. Surprisingly, two very conspicuous people did not appear in court: Lori Lister and Melinda Aguilar. Lister begged out, claiming she could not take time off from work. It was unknown why Aguilar did not appear.
