The Bowie News has been informed one indictment was not included in the March 18 edition story on grand jury cases.
The story was written based on a list of cases sent over by the 97th District Attorney’s staff and each case from that list was in the story. District Attorney Casey Hall said it was an oversight one was left off.
“There is a special prosecutor on the case so it is not stored in our system, which generates the list. It was a simple mistake. My front office staff are not involved in case presentation anyway, and on special prosecutor cases, we are not involved at all. So, I am sure you can understand the oversight,” stated the DA in a March 24 email in response to the question from the News staff.
The indictment from the March 13 session which was not included was for Louis Randel Nobile, 69, Nocona, indecency with a child sexual contact, two counts, second-degree felony. The indictment states in two separate July 2021 instances there was alleged contact with a female under the age of 17. Bond was $50,000.
A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The Bowie News apologizes for this error as we strive to always present all the news in a correct manner.
