A small update.

I have previously written about the strange case of Carolyn Barnes, the local lawyer who was accused of shooting at a census worker, sent to the state mental hospital (where she continued to represent at least one client), was later ruled competent to stand trial, tried, convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and sentenced to three years in prison.

Ms. Barnes is out of prison now (she got credit for time served before the trial), but was appealing her conviction.

The Texas 3rd Court of Appeals has turned down her appeal.
