A pre-trial hearing for a Telford State Prison inmate was held Friday in New Boston, and 39 year old Billy Joel Tracy criticized the Bowie County judge that will hear the capital murder case against him. Tracy also criticized the prosecutor in the case and his own defense team, led by Mac Cobb of Mt. Pleasant. Tracy faces a possible death penalty if he is convicted of fatally beating 47 year old correctional officer Timothy Davison.
