The second day of Court of Criminal Appeals Presiding Judge Sharon Keller's hearing on ethics charges is about to begin. John "Mike" McKetta, special counsel for the State Commission on Judicial Conduct and a shareholder in Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody, says the first witness will be Liz Watters, the receptionist and paralegal at Texas Defender Service in Austin.

Other witnesses scheduled to testify Tuesday, according to McKetta, are David Dow, a University of Houston Law Center professor and TDS litigation director; Alma LaGarda, a TDS attorney in Houston, by video deposition; and Keller. If time permits, lawyers will present the deposition of Ed Marty, the CCA's general counsel on Sept. 25, 2007.
