About this episode
Gateway Church founder Robert Morris pleaded guilty Thursday to five counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child. The former pastor, who founded the Southlake megachurch in 2000, agreed to a plea deal during a hearing. Morris agreed to a 10-year suspended sentence and will serve six months in jail. In other news, Dallas will delay its first installment of an $8.7 million payment to Dallas County for jail services by at least a month after council members raised concerns about the contract and persistent problems at the downtown detention facility; allas-based Chili’s Bar and Grill is removing its longtime Skillet Beef Queso and White Skillet Queso in favor of a new cheese dip called Southwest Queso; and five former Dallas Cowboys players, including three with Dallas-area high school ties, were among 52 players nominated Thursday by the Seniors Screening Committee for election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the seniors category. Those under consideration are cornerback Everson Walls, Defensive Lineman Harvey Martin, Quarterback Don Meredith, linebacker Lee Roy Jordan and defensive tackle Ed “Too Tall” Jones.
