Fort Worth in upheaval
over probation sentence
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT WORTH- A day after a
white supremacist received
probation in the slaying of a black
man, residents took to the streets
in protest Wednesday and two
jurors said the panel had actually
intended to give the convicted
murderer prison time.
Christopher William Brosky,
an 18-year-old white supremacist,
received 10 years' probation
Tuesday in the 1991 slaying of
Donald Thomas, 32. Brosky
wasn't the triggermah but helped
plan the attack, according to
testimony. He could have
received life in prison.
Jurors filled out blanks on a
sentencing form, writing in five
years' prison time and 10 years'
probation. But Texas law does not
allow juries to mix punishment.
Legal experts say State District
Judge Everett Young had no
choice but to assess Brosky 10
years' probation.
“There were some who wanted
to give life imprisonment without
parole, some who wanted parole
now," juror William Daniel Wertz
told The Associated Press. “All
had to be welded together to
come up with one answer for 12
people.
“We sat and we discussed and
we haggled and argued and
debated various phases of the
thing. We came up with giving
him five years hard time and 10
years' probation on top of that.
Otherwise, it would have been a
hung jury."
Black and white residents were
incensed by the sentence and
hundreds of people took to the
Fort Worth streets Wednesday in
protest.
“This fight is going to go on
until we can walk in peace, one
protester, Ken Henderson, told
the cheering crowd outside the
Tarrant County Justice Center.
“That's the bottom line."
The National Association for
the Advancement for Colored
People and other civil rights
groups were calling for a U.S.
Justice Department investigation.
Two other skinheads, William
George “Trey" Roberts III and
Joshua Hendry, both 17, have
pleaded guilty to the slaying.
U.N. launches rescue effort
Helicopter mission fails
as Serbs bomb stadium
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina— U.N. helicopters swooped into
besieged Srebrenica to fly refugees to safety Wednesday, but the
operation was halted after Serbs shelled some of the refugees as they
waited in a soccer stadium.
The attack killed one person and injured 21, including two Canadian
peacekeepers, U.N. officials said. They said 26 people, including the
U.N. soldiers, were flown out before flights were stopped.
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali
deplored the casualties and called for an immediate halt to the shelling.
Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader who approved the U.N.
flights, denied that Serb forces were responsible and accused Bosnia's
Muslim-led government of- firing at the landing site and blaming it on
the Serbs.
Bosnian Serb military commanders indirectly admitted the shelling.
In a statement, they charged the U.N. helicopters tried to infiltrate
soldiers into Srebrenica to “save Muslim criminals who committed
genocide against the Serb population." It also accused U.N. soldiers of
firing at Serb positions to provoke shelling.
The shelling of the landing zone and also the Tuzla airport called
into question Karadzic's assurances that corridors would be opened to
evacuate Srebrenica.
Many such promises by Bosnian Serb political leaders have been
ignored by their military forces.
Fighting around Sarajevo abated after several weeks of heavy battles
in the western suburbs. An international airlift was suspended for a
fifth day, however.
The United States and its NATO allies sent the United Nations their
plan for militarily enforcing a no fly zone over Bosnia if the Security
Council should order that.
Karadzic has threatened to leave peace talks if that happens.

Perot's reforms
praised by polls
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Ross Perot's proposals for gov
ernment reform, ranging from
adoption of the line-item veto
to reining in lobbyists, are be
ing enthusiastically endorsed
by the American people, his
pollster said Wednesday.
Even as Perot was on Capitol
Hill attacking the proposed
trade agreement with Mexico,
his supporters held a press con
ference across town to tout the
results of a poll commissioned
by Perot's group. United We
Stand America.
The poll was ordered after
Perot's 30-minute infomercial
Sunday night, during which the
Texas billionaire asked viewers
to send in ballots with their re
sponses to 17 questions on gov
ernment ethics and budget re
form. He also asked viewers to
join United We Stand America,
by sending in $15 checks. Given
the way tnose questions were
asked, there was little doubt the
results would be to Perot's lik
ing.

AIDS researchers
trace virus course
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
AIDS virus can hide for years in
lymph nodes before launching
a final, lethal attack on its vic
tims, scientists report in a new
finding that shows the disease
is never idle. The discovery
may lead to earlier treatment
for patients.
Two studies to be published
Thursday in the journal Nature
show that once a person is in
fected, the AIDS virus can con
gregate in lymphoid organs,
such as the tonsils, spleen, ade
noids and lymph nodes, where
it steadily infects key blood
cells and breaks down cells that
filter out viruses.
Eventually, the filter cells in
the lymph organs are destroyed
and infected blood cells spill
out into the body's circulation
system, leading to a collapse of
the immune system, the classic
sign of the lethal stage of AIDS.
The researchers said the
findings show that drugs must
be found to combat the AIDS
virus from the moment of diag
nosis and that therapy cannot
be relaxed during periods when
there are no symptoms.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director
of the National Institute of Al
lergy and Infectious Diseases
said the discovery answers one
of the key mysteries about the
course of the AIDS virus dis
ease.
State executes 2nd Hispanic
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUNTSVILLE - A Mexican
national was executed early
Thursday for the fatal shooting of
a Dallas police officer, becoming
the second Hispanic man execut
ed in Texas this week.
Ramon Montoya, 38, was pro
nounced dead at 12:18 a.m., seven
minutes after the lethal injection
began flowing into his arms.
Before the chemicals started
flowing, Montoya turned to Paz
Montoya, his father, and said in
Spanish, “May God help us. I am
ready."
The elder Montoya, who wit
nessed the execution, replied,
“May God help you, too."
The execution came slightly
more than an hour after the US.
Supreme Court refused to grant a
stay. A federal appeals court had
also refused earlier Wednesday
evening to halt it.
About 25 persons protested the
execution. Standing on a street
outside the prison, the chanted
such slogans in Spanish as "Jus
tice," “Viva Mexico" and "Life,
not death." -*
On Jan. 26, Montoya eluded
death when the U.S. Supreme
Court granted him a reprieve just
hours before he was to have been
strapped to the death chamber
gurney.
A month later, however, the
high court without comment re
jected his appeal and Montoya re
ceived a new execution date.
