Closing arguments were sched uled for Wednesday morning, and the jury could receive the case as early as Wednesday afternoon. State District Judge Gerry Holden Meier said she would advise jurors to be prepared to stay overnight if they cannot reach a verdict Wednesday. The seventh day of testimony in the triaJ focused on Belachheb’s con tention that he was insane when he shot and killed four Women and two men June 29 at lanni’s Restaurant and Club. Two Dallas psychiatrists repeated their diagnosis that Belachheb was a sociopath — a person with an anti social personality who still knew the difference between right and wrong. Dr. Clay Griffith supported the testimony of Dr. James Grigson, say ing that Belachheb Weis a “real, full blown, upper-end-of-the-scale socio path.” Meanwhile, defense attorney Frank Jackson tried to discredit Grigson’s testimony. Dr. Abraham Halpern, a New York psychiatrist and the president of the American Board of Forensic Psychiatry, questioned Grigson’s truthfulness during testimony. “His reputation is such that the comments he verbalizes under oath are not considered to be objectively truthful and are not to be believed,” Halpern said. Halpern acknowledged he was not familiar with the Belachheb case until Jackson called him Monday night and asked him to fly to Dallas to testify. He said he was familiar with Grigson through conversations with other psychiatrists. Griffith, who examined Belach heb on July l and at least two other occasions, said the defendant never told him he had suffered seizures or at least two severe head injuries. Defense witnesses have testified that Belachheb could not distinguish right from wrong because of severe brain damage dating from age 10. They said the defendant was in the midstof a ‘‘complex partial brain sei zure,” which began after he was in sulted by one of the women who later was killed. Griffith said he found no evi dence of brain damage and that Be lachheb was of average or above av erage intelligence. Belachheb believes that American women are the cause of his prob lems, Griffith said. “He said American women always want sex, even before they give him a cup of coffee,” the psychiatrist said. Earlier Tuesday, Dr. Elliott Ross, a neurologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, said Belachheb could not have been suffering a complex partial brain sei zure. He said such seizures typically last about 30 seconds, and victims are in capable of goal-directed behavior. Workers receive Silkwood award United Press International WASHINGTON — Four nuclear plant quality control workers fired for disclosing health and safety vio lations and a Tenneseee union leader were named Tuesday to re ceive the first annual Silkwood Awards. The recipients were selected exac tly 10 years after Oklahoma pluto nium worker Karen Silkwood died in a mysterious auto crash while on her way to meet with a reporter and an official of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union. The four inspectors were fired from their jobs at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant under construction near Glen Rose, Texas. Also, OCAW leader Johnny Bettis who led the nation’s first health and safety work stoppage with a walkout now in its third year at the TNS Ura nium Munitions Plant in Jonesboro, Tenn. was chosen. The awards are co-sponsored by the Karen Silkwood Fund and the Government Accountability Project, an organization formed to protect whistleblowers from harassment. The other recipients are: —Charles Atchison, a quality con trol inspector fired after he filed re ports warning of defective restraints designed to prevent broken pipes from whipping back and forth. Al though the restraints tested by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission were found defective, he was black listed from the nuclear industry and f ired from three subsequent jobs; —Dobie Hatley, a Comanche Peak documents supervisor fired “be cause she refused to follow instruc tions to commit violations that would have jeopardized public safety.” She said company officials forced her to destroy evidence of unsafe condi tions; —Comanche Peak quality control inspector Sue Ann Neumeyer who said her superiors instructed her to sign falsified documents; —Meddie Gregory, who reported Comanche Peak safety violations to the NRC and testified about the breakdown in the Quality Assurance Program. She was one of 40 quality control inspectors laid off as deposi tions were being taken for an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hearing. The awards are to be given “to people in the nuclear industry who work for improved health and safety conditions for workers and the pub lic.” Silkwood, whose struggle with Kerr-McGee was dramatized in the movie “Silkwood,” learned a few days before her death that she had been massively contaminated with deadly plutonium found in her home. On the night she died, she was supposed to be carrying evidence of health and safety violations at Kerr- McGee Corp.’s plutonium proc essing platit near Crescent, Okla., but authorities said they found no such documents in her car.
