Tnds for tough anti-crime legislation by authorizing

‘ax inct wattes.

iBialty. Among new crimes that could result in exe-

aling a car and activities of big-time drug dealers,
if they don’t result in death.
At the White House, President Clinton focused on
tier parts of the bill as he addressed a ceremony
noring police officers. The bill, he told the officers,
uldgive them “the tools you need to do you jobs.”
This is not a partisan issue or a sectional issue or
racial issue or an income issue,” Clinton said. “If
ything should truly make us a United States of
terica, it should be the passionate desire to restore
il freedom to our streets. ’
judiciary Committee Chairman Jack Brooks, D-
sas, led the battle against the amendment to replace
the bill’s death penalty provisions with life in prison
without parole.
“Plain common sense tells us that the death penal
ty is the only way to send an unequivocal message
that some conduct simply will not be borne solely by
innocent victims of heinous crimes without the high
est price to be paid,” Brooks said.
Rep. Michael Kopetski, D-Ore., who proposed the
amendment with the support of the congressional
Black and Hispanic caucuses, said, “In my view, life
without any hope of release constitutes death by in
carceration, a stiff penalty by any standard.”
The House also rejected an amendment to elimi
nate the death penalty for murders committed dur
ing carjackings, drive-by shootings and federal
drug and gun crimes, and another to eliminate the
death penalty for drug kingpins even when no
death occurred.
The chamber approved 35 noncontroversial
amendments by a vote of 395-25.
They range from a five-year renewal of a popular
grant program for state ana local law enforcement to
authorizing $ 1 2 million annually for three years to
establish Boys and Girls Clubs in public housing.

In October 1992, Milwaukee at-
ney Robin Shellow argued that
icia Morgan was suffering post-
umatic stress disorder from a life-
lie of violence inside and outside
ehome when she killed another
n-ager. The girl was convicted,
but the judge made her eligible for
parole after serving the minimum
13 years and four months.
Other past defenses that have
hinged on post-traumatic stress dis
order include the highly publicized
Lorena Bobbitt and Menendez
brothers cases, said Shellow.
Bobbitt, who was acquitted on
the grounds of temporary insanity,
contended years of physical and sex
ual abuse led her to cut off her hus
band’s penis.
Mistrials were declared for Eric
and Lyle Menendez after jurors
failed to agree on a verdict in the
killing of their parents. The brothers
claimed they acted in self-defense
after years of sexual and psychologi
cal abuse.
“The reasons those were success
ful is because the defendants were
white and middle class or upper-
middle class,” Shellow said.
