Accused Navy cadet says she s
gunfire but denies part in kill
FORT WORTH (AP) — Dis
avowing her own confession, a
former Naval Academy midship
man charged with killing her ro
mantic rival tearfully told jurors
Tuesday she never harmed the girl
and did not know that her
boyfriend was going to shoot her.
But Diane Zamora broke down
in tears when she described
watching David Graham shoot
Adrianne Jones on a winter night
along a secluded road.
“The crook of his arm went out
and I heard gunshots go off,”
Zamora said in afternoon testimo
ny, adding that she saw Jones col
lapse in a field.
“She fell and I didn’t see her after
that,” she said, crying and shudder
ing. “It was like a horror movie.”
Zamora, trying to shift the fo
cus to David Graham, denied that
she had struck Jones before
watching him pursue the woman
as she fled from a car.
She told jurors what Graham
told her after the slaying.
“He said, ‘Look at what you
made me do,”’ she said.
But at times, she could not im
mediately answer her defense at
torney’s questions because she
was crying so hard.
Zamora testified earlier Tues
day that her ex-fiance was abusive
and domineering, often forcing
her to have sex and threatening
her with a handgun.
On the night die 16-year-old
Jones was killed, Zamora said she
never wanted to harm her. She
added, “I just wanted to talk to her.’’
But mucJi of Zamora’s testimo
ny contradicted her written con
fession made to law officers before
her capital murder trial began. In
her confession she said sJie or
dered Graham to shoot Jones and
helped by hitting her over the
head witli a dumbbell weight.
Zamora and Graham, a former
Air Force cadet, are accused of killing
Jones in December 1995. Prosecu

Vegetarian activist’s lawyer
says client offered opinions
AMARILLO (AP) — A vegetarian activist
who spoke about the dangers of mad cow
disease on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”
should have qualified his
statements as opinions, a
Texas cattleman testified
Tuesday.
Paul Engler, chief exec
utive officer of Cactus
Feeders Inc., one of the
largest cattle feeders in
the world, testified for the
second day in a civil trial
accusing Winfrey, her
production company and Winfrey
Lyman of slander.
During the April 16, 1996, show, Lyman
suggested that as long as ground up cattle
parts were being fed back to herds — known
as ruminant feeding—mad cow disease was
a risk in the United States and could make
AIDS look like the common cold.
The feeding practice is now banned.
Lyman’s attorney, Barry Peterson, sug
gested that his client’s statements on the
show were merely opinions.
Engler responded, “Mr. Lyman’s entitled
to any opinion. If he would have qualified
his statements as opinions, we probably
wouldn’t be sitting here.”
“Mr. Lyman had a very strong, firm pres
ence on the show which gave the impression
that he was speaking with a factual basis,”
Engler said.
Peterson then said, “You’re interpretation
of inaccurate is when someone disagrees
with you, is that right?”
“No,” Engler responded. "A false state
ment is a false statement.”
Texas cattlemen are suing for more than
$10 million in damages under a state law that
protects agricultural products from defama
tory remarks.
Mad cow disease — formally known as
bovine spongiform encephalopathy — is a
brain-destroying disorder that has afflicted
cattle since the late 1980s.
Peterson showed Engler a letter addressed
from Texas cattleman Bill O’Brien, who is
also a plaintiff in the case, to the president of
the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in
1996 in which O’Brien said:
“I believe it is important to prepare the
consumer for the likely event of the discov
ery of a BSE (infected) animal in the U.S. cat
tle herd.”
O’Brien went on to say that such a dis
covery could be “earthshaking.”
