In Louise, Eddie “Doc” Escamia Jr., who admitted to neglecting his son leading to his death, faces potential jail time. Initially given eight years of probation in June, Escamia was rearrested in November for violating probation terms like unpaid fees and missed classes. The Wharton County Assistant DA, Mark Racer, is now pushing for prison time. Escamia’s son, Daniel, died in ’22 after severe abuse, with his mother already serving 45 years. A new judge will decide Escamia’s fate as Judge Hardin retires.
