Published 10:30 am, Thursday, April 25, 2013 Bartholomew Granger doggedly sought revenge during a lethal shooting rampage against family members at the Jefferson County Courthouse last March and was defiantly unapologetic after being subdued by workers he took hostage, witnesses testified in his capital murder trial in Galveston Wednesday. Granger is accused of killing 79-year-old Minnie Ray Sebolt, an innocent bystander gunned down as Granger fired on an ex-girlfriend, Claudia Jackson, a witness against him in an aggravated sexual assault trial in Criminal District Court. Several of the witnesses to the shooting were lawyers coming and going for lunch breaks. Somebody's shooting an AR-15,' he said, adding he recognized the sound of an assault rifle because he owns one. Dies wanted to go to her aid when there was a lull in the shooting, but it soon started up again. From his vantage point, he also saw a beige pickup truck run over Samantha Jackson in the parking lot across the street. After his vehicle was disabled by police gunfire, the gunman stormed into RCI, a company that does fabrication, welding and fitting for refineries. Bond said Granger also expressed anger at the police officers who were chasing him and that Granger alleged he'd been shot 12 times. Granger was shot once in his shoulder and a bullet grazed his head, according to police testimony. The Jefferson County District Attorney's Office is asking for the death penalty in Granger's case. Defense attorneys said they had not planned to put their witnesses on the stand until next week, but the trial has moved more quickly than expected.
