Page Tuesday • February 4, Cadet Continued from Page 1 Police say tips from other mid shipmen led them to Zamora. Dressed in a navy dress accen tuated with gold buttons, Zamora sat quietly during Monday’s pro ceedings. Afterward, she turned to her family seated in the front row and mouthed the words, “I love you” before being ushered back to her jail cell. Casey said the movie will dam age Zamora’s case because some of the events are based on Graham’s alleged confession, which has been printed in The Dallas Morn ing News. In Casey’s opinion, the document will not be admissible at the trial. On cross-examination, KXAS at torney Chip Babcock pointed out that Evans’ client, Norman Allison, was cleared of murder and weapons charges in 1994 after a made-for-TV movie aired about David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. Allison was a part of the Davidian group. “It’s hard to know if that jury was fair and impartial or not. I person ally agree with their verdict on my client,” Evans said. KXAS attorneys argued that the number of people who will watch the movie is less than 15 percent of Tarrant County’s prospective jury pool and that would leave more than 1 million potential jurors who had not seen it. “Among the million people who haven’t seen the movie, Miss Zamo ra oughtn’t have any trouble finding 12, just 12 to decide the case fairly,” said attorney Peter Kennedy. Attorney Jay Ethington, a de fense witness, said some of his high-profile clients such as ath letes had gotten fair trials despite intense media attention. He noted there are legal remedies available to the court to deal with pre trial publicity such as individual ques tioning of prospective jurors, addi tional strikes in jury selection and instruction to the panel to disregard media reports and other publicity. The network is billing its program as a true-crime movie based on aTexas Monthly article about the two cadets “charged in a chilling murder pact.” “It’s a very powerful story, and it’s a cautionary tale,” said Linda DeKoven, NBC’s senior vice presi dent for movies. Simpson judge denies mistrial request /olume 103 SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — The judge in the O.J. Simpson case denied another defense mistrial re quest Monday, dismissing fears that a juror poisoned the panel against Simpson before she was removed for misconduct. The juror, who had been the only black on the panel, was re moved Friday for failing to disclose that her daughter works for the district attorney’s office that un successfully prosecuted Simpson on murder charges. Superior Court Judge Hiroshi Fu- jisaki rejected the written request, as he had an earlier spoken request Friday, saying he remedied the problem by appointing an alternate and ordering the panel to start de liberating anew. The reconstituted panel delib erated six hours Monday and re cessed for the night after sending a note to the judge asking for a readback of testimony. It was not revealed what testimony the jurors requested. Also rejected by the judge was defense attorney Robert Baker’s re quest to question the jurors to find out what 62-year-old Rosemary Caraway told them before she was bounced. Fujisaki said Baker could question the jurors after they reach a verdict. Baker said research over the weekend showed Caraway had scratched out on her jury question naire an answer that would have di vulged her daughter’s ties to the prosecutor’s office. Asked if anybody close to her had legal training, she began an an swer regarding a relative but crossed it out, he said, adding that the scratched-out words were “Dis trict Attorney’s Office.” On a question in which she was asked if any close friends or relatives were employed by the at torney general or the district at torney, Baker said Caraway checked “no.” Baker said the defense also found that before moving to her present job with the director of spe cial operations in the district attor ney’s office, the woman’s daughter worked for two of the prosecutors in the failed criminal case against Simpson, Bill Hodgman and Christopher Darden. “This is a direct, deliberate at tempt to mislead and I think it’s an outrage,” Baker told the judge. “It’s not inadvertent, and we are enti tled to a mistri al. This is mis conduct.” But plaintiff lawyer Daniel Petrocelli insist ed Caraway “was an honest and conscien tious juror who overlooked a question “They’ll do anything.” In the written motion, the fense also sought a mistrial cause Roger Martz, an FBltei cian who analyzed evidenci the Simpson case, was ont those removed from his post week in a probe of FBI evide handling procedures.
