July convicts abortion
killer in 20 minutes
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A jury deliberated just 20 minutes
Wednesday before convicting a former minister of murder in the
shotgun slayings of an abortion doctor and his bodyguard.
Paul Hill, 40, could receive either life in prison or death in the
electric chair. The jury will return Thursday to decide.
Hill, acting as his own lawyer, offered no defense during his
three-day trial, refusing to make any statement or question any
witnesses. Circuit Judge Frank Bell had barred him from arguing
that the slayings were justifiable homicide to save fetuses.
“I have nothing to say, your honor,” Hill said before deliberations
began. He showed no emotion as the verdict was read. His mother,
Louise Hill of Atlanta, burst into tears while his wife, Karen, re
mained composed.
Wielding a 12-gauge shotgun, Hill ambushed Dr. John B. Brit
ton, 69; his unarmed bodyguard, James H. Barrett, 74; and Barret
t’s wife, June, 68, as the three arrived at the Ladies Center abor
tion clinic on July 29.
He was convicted of attempted murder for wounding Mrs. Bar
rett.
Last month, he became the first person convicted of violating the
new federal law against harassing or using violence against people
entering abortion clinics. He could get up to life in prison at sen
tencing Dec. 9.
Before the shootings, Hill had openly advocated killing abortion
doctors. He said such slayings were divinely sanctioned.
“Now is the time to defend the unborn, the same way you’d de
fend slaves about to be murdered!” he shouted as he was taken to
jail after his arrest.
One of his supporters, Louisville attorney Vincent F. Heuser Jr.,
said Hill still believes he acted correctly.
Committee finds
poor CIA effort
in Ames spy case
Latest shuttle launch marks
fifth environmental mission
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
— It’s a green year for NASA:
The space agency Thursday
launches the fifth shuttle flight of
1994 devoted to studying the
state of the Earth.
That’s more environmental
missions than in any previous
year.
Bad weather across the At
lantic threatened to scrub At
lantis’ noontime launch, however.
NASA cannot launch a shuttle
unless at least one of its three
emergency landing sites in Spain
and Morocco has acceptable
weather. Thick clouds and high
wind were expected at all three
sites. Good weather was expected
at Kennedy Space Center.
This will be the third shuttle
mission in a row that’s part of
NASA’s Mission to Planet
Earth, a program to under
stand such environmental
changes as ozone depletion, de
forestation and global warming.
It’s the fastest growing part
of NASA; funding has shot up
50 percent over the past four
years, said program chief
Charles Kennel. This year’s
budget is $1.2 billion.
“That’s a sign of the times,”
Kennel said.
For 11 days, seven instru
ments aboard Atlantis will scour
the stratosphere for ozone and
other chemicals and examine so
lar energy.
It will be the third time in 2
1/2 years that these monitors
have flown in space, but the first
time in autumn, which is when a
hole forms in the ozone layer over
the Antarctic.
WASHINGTON (AP) - CIA
Director R. James Woolsey’sre
sponse to the Aldrich Ames spy
case has been “seriously inade
quate,” but his predecessors
are ultimately to blame for the
scandal, a Senate committee
said Tuesday.
In a 117-page report, the
Senate Intelligence Committee
provided the most detailed de
scription yet published of what
it called a “disaster of unprece
dented proportions,” a setback
that will take years to fully re
cover from.
Ames has admitted he be
trayed more than 100 American
and allied intelligence operations,
the report said. He also knew
about several hundred others
that he may have compromised,
but “he says he is unable to re
member specifics,” it added.
While stating that Woolsey's
disciplinary action against 11 se
nior managers for their handling
of the Ames case was too mild
given the seriousness of the prob
lem, the committee made no sug
gestion that he should resign.
The report said Woolsey
should be allowed more time to
make the changes he has
promised, including measures to
strengthen the counterintelli
gence, or internal spy-catching,
function that failed so miserably
to detect Ames’ treachery.
Noting that Sen. Howard M.
Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, is the
only member of the Intelligence
Committee to publicly call for
his resignation, Woolsey said
at a news conference in Pitts
burgh on Tuesday that he had
no intention of quitting.
Woolsey defended his deci
sion to issue letters of repri
mand to seven retired and four
current CIA managers — but
not to fire or demote anyone —
for their failure to apply
enough resources to the inter
nal hunt for a Soviet mole.
“I believe my decisions were
fair and just,” Woolsey said,
“We should put cases and deci
sions behind us and move on to
the challenges of managing
counterintelligence.”
