Mark Norwood, 57, of Bastrop has been charged for murder from a 1986 killing of Christine Morton of Georgetown who was beaten to death in her bed.

Norwood is pleading not guilty to the crime. Morton’s husband was originally imprisoned for almost 25 years for the crime, and was recently exonerated after results from a DNA test were released.

Norwood has been linked with DNA evidence on a bloodied bandana found behind Morton’s house the day after the murder. He is currently at Williamson County Jail, and is awaiting a pretrial hearing in court.

Norwood was also linked, but has not been charged, to the murder of Debra Masters Baker who was also beaten to death in 1988 in her North Austin home.

According to the Texas Gang Threat Assesment of 2011, Texas prison gangs have begun to form strong ties with Mexican drug cartels.

Prison gangs such as the Mexican Mafia, Tango Blast, and the Texas Syndicate have developed relationships with Mexican drug cartels because “…from a public safety perspective, the danger of these relationships is equally obvious. The gangs increase their power and acquire wholesale quantities of drugs at reasonable prices, while the cartels extend their network of connections deeper into the United States,” according to DPS Director Steven McGraw.

These gangs have become a tool for cartels to transport drugs farther north and weapons south. The relationships between South Texas gangs like the Mexican Mafia are fairly new and have only recently been recognized by police within the last five years.

Money is the main impetus for the “business” between the cartels and the gangs. For more detailed information, visit MySanAntonio.com
