An elderly woman with an oxygen tank sat in a Texas courtroom yesterday after four decades on the run, accused of murdering her husband by dousing him with hot grease.
Mary Ann Rivera made her first court appearance since being returned to Houston this week from Georgia, where she had been living as a fugitive since fleeing a murder charge over the death of her husband, Cruz Rivera in October 1970.
The 76-year-old, wearing an orange prison uniform and breathing in oxygen through plastic tubes from a green tank on wheels, sat in a jury box with several other prisoners while her case was reset to November 15. She will remain jailed without bond.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
