Dr. Calvin Day, once considered one of San Antonio's top dermatologists, was led to a jail cell Monday after jurors convicted him of sexually assaulting a patient — dashing almost all hope of reviving his medical career and exposing him to the possibility of up to 20 years in prison. Other accusers are expected to testify when the punishment phase resumes Tuesday. Because Day, 61, has never before been convicted of a felony, he is eligible for probation. The doctor's trial had previously focused solely on the allegations of a patient, then 46, who said Day kissed her, groped her chest and used his hand to assault her under her dress as she visited his office for a follow-up to a Botox injection one Sunday in August 2010. The new accusers Monday included a woman who alleged a similar assault as she was consulting him for a possible laser hair removal procedure and two women who said they worked for Day for brief periods until his behavior drove them away.

Perez said challenges he would tackle included increasing graduation rates and improving the rate of students considered college-ready.

Police said the 4-year-old's father, Wesley Lindsay, 27, was driving the family's sedan and was around the corner from his mother's home for a holiday get-together when George Munoz Jr. slammed his car into Lindsay's in the 3800 block of Culebra Road. Police officers rushed to the chaotic scene, where they simultaneously pulled out Travion, his brothers Davon, 3, and Edward, 7, from the back seat and extinguished the fire. Another officer immediately arrested Munoz, who had crawled over his female passenger to get out of his car, still toting a gun he used to threaten another motorist, said Police Chief William McManus. Munoz is being held in police custody at University Hospital on four counts of murder, one count of evading arrest or detention and a charge of felon in possession of a firearm. According to McManus, a patrol officer saw Munoz standing outside his parked car, threatening a motorist with a gun around 6 p.m. Sunday. Shattered glass and dark stains littered the pavement, and roses, a teddy bear and candles had been placed on a metal sign where Lindsay's car came to rest after the collision. A Police Department spokesman said the murder charge fit the crime, citing the criminal code's stipulation that it applied “in the course of and in furtherance of the commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he commits or attempts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual.” According to a criminal background search, this isn't the first time Munoz has been arrested. In the 2000s, he was charged with driving while intoxicated and twice with drug possession, along with a charge of failure to identify and a couple of probation violations.
