ury convicts sect members
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Three members
ofa radical polygamist group
were convicted Wednesday of
civil rights violations and other
federal charges in the 1988
slayings of three former sect
members and a young girl.
The defendants each were
convicted on nine counts and
acquitted on one weapons charge
in the killings, which prosecutors
claimed were carried out to bring
on the "kingdom of God."
However, the jury said it had
not yet reached a decision on four
charges alleging conspiracy and
murder-for-hire.
U.S. District Judge Simeon
Lake urged the jurors to go back
and try to reach a verdict on the
temaining charges.
Jurors deliberated for about an
more before telling the judge they
wanted to review some testimony.
The judge let them go home for
!he day, telling them to return
fhursday morning when the
requested evidence would be
available.
William Heber LeBaron, 28,
Patricia LeBaron, 27, and Douglas
Lee Barlow, 31, were convicted of
charges stemming from the July
27,1988, fatal shootings, which
occurred almost simultaneously
in three locations.
The three were found guilty of
several charges, including
tampering with a witness,
conspiracy, a weapon's violation
and interfering with a person's
religious beliefs. They also were
convicted of the Racketeering
Influenced Corrupt Organizations
Act.
Prosecutor Mike Shelby said it
was the first time in the nation the
obstruction charge has been used
since enacted June 24, 1988 — just
three days before the murders.
The law, part of the hate crimes
legislation, makes it illegal to
obstruct a person's right to
practice their religion.
So far, each defendant faces up
to life in prison without parole,
plus 25 years, when sentenced by
the judge.
Jennifer Chynoweth, 8, her
father, Duane Chynoweth, 31, his
brother, Mark Chynoweth, 36, and
Ed Marston, 32, were gunned
down at three sites in Houston
and suburban Dallas.
The three men had been
targeted for death because they
left the Church of the First Born of
the Lamb of God, founded by the
late polygamous leader Ervil
LeBaron, prosecutors said. The
girl was killed because she was a
witness to her father's death, they
said.
"I'm in shock. I'm happy for
what they got. I'm relieved," said
a smiling Laura Chynoweth,
whose husband and daughter
were killed.
She said the case was
especially painful since she had
known the defendants for years,
and once considered them part of
her family.
"I feel a lot for them (the
defendants).
I still have good memories
from the past," she said. "But I
know that they killed."
The defendants showed little
emotion when the partial verdict
was read.
"We have prepared them for a
verdict like this," said defense
attorney Tom Berg, who
represents William Heber
LeBaron.
Berg and the other two defense
attorney said they planned to
appeal.
Patricia and William are the
natural children of Ervil LeBaron,
and Barlow is his stepson.
In all, LeBaron had 54 children
by 13 wives.
Prosecutors said Ervil
LeBaron's writings promised that
the group members who killed
those who had abandoned the
church would help bring on the
kingdom of God and would
inherit the world's riches. The
government claimed the promise
of gaining worldly goods
constitutes murder-for-hire.
Defense attorneys hardly
disputed their clients were
involved in the killings. But they
argued the slayings were more of
an act of revenge for years of
abuse they suffered as children at
the hands of the three men who
were murdered.
The jury spent about eight
hours deliberating on Tuesday
and Wednesday before delivering
the partial verdict. The trial began
Jan. 11 and included testimony
from Cynthia LeBaron, who
described how the defendants and
others plotted the attacks and
agreed to kill any witness over
age 4.
Cynthia LeBaron, who was
granted immunity, said she called
Douglas Barlow at a pay phone in
Irving, giving him the go-ahead to
kill Marston while William Heber
LeBaron was attacking Mark
Chynoweth at his Houston
appliance store.
Richard LeBaron, then 17, was
sent to kill Duane and Jenny
Chynoweth, and Patricia LeBaron
went along "so Richard wouldn't
back out at the last minute," she
testified.
Richard LeBaron pleaded
guilty last summer to charges in
the (deaths of Duane and Jennifer
Chynoweth and is awaiting
sentencing. Two other group
members have been indicted, but
are believed to be in Mexico.
Serbs accept plan to end war
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina — An
assembly of Bosnian Serbs on Wednesday
accepted a plan to end Bosnia's civil war, but
what appeared to be a step toward peace may
belittle more than a tactical maneuver.
While giving the international community
the "yes" it sought for the peace plan, the
Serbs also insisted on the right to self-
determination.
The Serbs' foes have tentatively accepted
the plan.
The international community had told
Bosnia's Serbs to accept the plan
unconditionally or risk further isolation and
possible military intervention.
Rejection would have doomed the peace
talks and increased fighting.
Warfare appeared to ease throughout
Bosnia on Wednesday, but Muslim-led
government forces captured the Jezero hill in
eastern Bosnia after four days of bitter
fighting.
Serbs fighters had to withdraw over the

Drina River into the neighboring republic of
Serbia, the Belgrade-based Tanjug news
agency reported.
The Muslims can use the hill to control a
large area on the Drina River border with
Serbia.
Lord Owen of the European Community,
who with U.N. envoy Cyrus Vance drafted
the peace plan, welcomed the Bosnian Serbs'
decision.
Kemal Muftic, a top aide to Bosnia's
Muslim president, Alija Izetbegovic, said
Serbs accepted the peace plan because they
were under pressure.
"Our experience so far tells us that
whatever they agree to, it means nothing on
the ground," he said.
The Serb decision to accept the plan was
made by their self-declared parliament,
which met in Pale, the Serb military
headquarters just east of Sarajevo.
The vote was 55-12 with one abstention.
The assembly has 81 seats, but most of the
missing lawmakers did not travel to Pale.
"The Serb side is ready for an immediate
cease-fire including Sarajevo," said Bosnian
Serb leader Radovan Karadzic.
He said his self-declared Serb republic
would continue to exist "until the Serbian
people decide otherwise," and emphasized
the vote did not mean full agreement with the
Vance-Owen plan.
The Serb assembly "opted for the
immediate ending of the war and for peace
and negotiations," said a statement issued
after the vote.
It added: "We keep the right of self-
determination."
The wording suggested Bosnian Serbs
have not given up their goal of joining Serb-
held territory in Bosnia with neighboring
Serbia to create a "greater Serbia." Vance and
Owen have rejected that option.
Support for the idea that Bosnia will be a
single state represents only the first phase of
any settlement of the civil war.
The harder part of the negotiations
involves maps dividing Bosnia into 10 largely
autonomous provinces.
