Posted on by

A Liberty County judge and his wife were injured in a head-on collision with an alleged drunk driver near U.S. 90 Saturday morning

County Judge Craig McNair and Lisa McNair were taken by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital after a 17-year-old driving a 2007 Ford Expedition veered into their lane and struck their 2012 GMC pickup shortly after midnight Saturday.

German Mata fled to his home a mile away after the crash. His brother, Edgar Mata, 21, arrived at the scene after the accident and told officers he was the driver of the Expedition, Liberty County Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Ken DeFoor said.

Lisa McNair was treated for a fractured leg and Craig McNair was treated for cuts and bruises. DeFoor said the McNair's injuries could have been more severe had it not been for the airbags in their truck deploying. There was extensive damage to both vehicles, he said.

The Expedition had flashing red and blue emergency lights attached to it, DeFoor said. It is not known why German had attached them to his SUV. He said the lights can mimic those found on a law enforcement vehicles.

The 17-year-old, found later at his home asleep, was charged with failure to stop and render aid, improper use of lights, and driving without a license. He only sustained minor injuries in the crash that did not require treatment. His older brother was charged with making a false report to an officer and public intoxication.

Both were taken to the Liberty County jail.

Liberty Institute: Congress Urges Air Force To Support Religious Freedom

Posted on by

Thu, Apr 17, 2014

Members of the House of Representatives from both parties have submitted a letter to U.S. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, urging a revision to Air Force regulations to allow greater religious freedom in the Air Force.

The joint letter states: "We are concerned that the Air Force has not updated its regulations on religious freedom and appears to have the most restrictive policy of any military service." In addition, it expresses concern that "Air Force religious freedom regulations and practices are inconsistent with the Constitution and with current law." The letter also demands that the Air Force "correct this immediately" by revising Air Force regulations to ensure that the Air Force protects the religious freedom of all Airmen.

Mike Berry, Liberty Institute Senior Counsel and Director of Military Affairs, praised the policymakers' initiative. "We are grateful that our elected officials responded so quickly and decisively to this issue," he said. "They are rightfully concerned that the Air Force is not acting in accordance with Department of Defense policy. History demonstrates that religious freedom is vital to a strong military. With this letter, Congress is asking the Air Force to protect religious freedom in accordance with the Constitution and Department of Defense policy, which will ensure that we continue to have a strong military."

Recently, the Air Force has been at the center of numerous controversies related to religious hostility within the military. Liberty Institute compiled many of those instances of religious hostility and, in January, provided them to the House Armed Services Committee as part of its written testimony.

Liberty Institute describes itself as "a national law firm dedicated to defending and restoring religious liberty across America in our schools, for our churches, in our military and throughout the public arena. Liberty's vision is to reestablish religious liberty in accordance with the principles of our Founding Fathers."
