Barnett lawsuit moves toward trial
The plaintiff in the suit, Ronald Morales of Douglas, alleges that Roger Barnett threatened him and his hunting party, which included one girl aged 9 and two others aged 11, with an AR-15 assault rifle after Barnett accused them of trespassing on his Douglas ranch on Oct. 30, 2004. Morales says the property was state trust land leased by Barnett, which made it permissible for him to hunt there.
