WASHINGTON — The House responded to de- Tnds for tough anti-crime legislation by authorizing )r jmprr tt\e death penalty Thursday for nearly 70 additional ‘ax inct wattes. vatioti dPMingcQn a. $ 1 5 billion crime bill, the House re- mers an r led bv a 314-1 1 1 xote an amendment that would of somtr substituted life without parole for the death iBialty. Among new crimes that could result in exe- reducinj l' on: ^ ve ‘b>y shootings, a killing committed while especial)' enter tbt I uors orcing 1. No 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. Jrban ntinued from Page 1 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. edito r s edit° r |\|ea»»- esters ?xasA^ Iniver* ,f Slid*” 1 BullW caT® a#* haig^ MSC Film Society of Texas ASM Fei Hu Tlie Story ot the Flying Tigers A PREMIERE SCREENINq wirh specIaL quEsrs Gen.
