TRIAL BEGINS TODAY FOR FORMER WASHINGTON COUNTY JAILER
Security is tight around the Washington County courthouse as the trial of a former county jailer gets underway.
Dozens of extra security personnel are on hand as rumors abound that Quanell X, of Houston's New Black Panther Party was coming to Brenham to observe the trial of Christopher Kulow.
Kulow's trial on a charge of Official Oppression got underway today (Tuesday) at the courthouse, and is being heard by Judge Carson Campbell.
Rumors of the presence of Quanell X began when it was learned that all six members of Kulow's jury are white, as is Kulow.
Kulow is accused of assaulting an inmate, Gregory Webb, who is African American, at the Washington County Jail back in 2013.
