Trucker executed for double slayins
HUNTSVILLE, Texas mvirdered knows I am inno- Joiner's execution brought Marie DeForest, 29, after see- Joiner's shirt matched:
(AP) — Former long-haul
trucker Orien Cecil Joiner
went quietly to his death
Wednesday, proclaiming his
innocence while insisting he
was ready to die.
"My work on earth is
done," Joiner said before re
ceiving a lethal injection for
the fatal slashing and stabbing
of two Lubbock women who
lived in an apartment next to
him in December 1986.
Joiner's statement lasted
less than two minutes.
He spoke matter-of-factly
and nodded and smiled at a
friend.
"As I've said since the
very first thing, I am innocent
of this crime," he said. "And
God knows I'm innocent,
and the poor people that was
cent. And when I get to heav
en, I'll be meeting you and
we'll all talk."
Joiner, 50, said he felt sor
ry for the family of the vic
tims, but that someday the
real killer would be caught
and another execution would
have to take place.
"If it takes my death to
make them feel happy, then I
will bless them. I don't have
hard feelings toward anyone
because the Lord feels that it is
my time to come home to
him," he said.
The lethal drugs were ad
ministered at 6:11 p.m. Joiner
was pronounced dead at 6:17
p.m. While being injected, he
mouthed "I love you" to
someone. Then he gasped,
coughed and closed his eyes.
to 25 the number of con
demned inmates put to death
in Texas this year. One more
execution is set for later this
month and at least six are
scheduled for August.

week before Christmas 1986 to

apartment and escape over a
backyard fence.
Authorities, however, de
termined it was Joiner who was
responsible for the carnage.
Both victims were bound
with duct tape. DeForest was
stabbed 41 times, her throat
was cut and the broken knife
blade was left sticking out of
her chest. Huckabee, her
roommate, had her face and
neck slashed plus four stab
wounds to her chest. Both
were raped during or after the
fatal attacks.

FBI uses ‘Carnivore’ for snooping
Critics attack email interception program
News in Brief
Thursday, July 13
Court lifts order
from Lufkin schools
WASHINGTON (AP) —Civil liber
ties and privacy groups are railing
against a new system designed to allow
law enforcement agents to intercept and
analyze huge amounts of e-mail in con
nection with an investigation.
The system, called "Carnivore,"
was first hinted at on April 6 in testi
mony to a House subcommittee. Now
the FBI has it in use.
When Carnivore is placed at an In
ternet service provider, it scans all in
coming and outgoing e-mails for
messages associated with the target
of a criminal probe.
In a letter addressed to two mem
bers of the House subcommittee that
deals with Fourth Amendment search-
and-seizure issues, the American Civil
Liberties Union argued that the system
breaches the Internet provider's rights
and the rights of all its customers by
reading both sender and recipient ad
dresses, as well as subject lines of
emails, to decide whether to make a
copy of the entire message.
Further, while the system is plugged
into the Internet provider's systems, it is
controlled solely by the law enforce
ment agency. In a traditional wiretap,
the tap is p)hysically placed and main
tained by the telephone company.
"Carnivore is roughly equivalent to
a wiretap capable of accessing the con
tents of the conversations of all of the
phone company's customers, with the
'assurance' that the FBI will record
only conversations of the specified tar
get," read the letter. "This 'trust us, we
are the government' approach is the
antithesis of the procedures required
under our wiretapping laws."
Barry Steinhardt, associate director
of the ACLU, said citizens shouldn't
trust that such a sweeping data-tap
dd:
Taw enforce
ment should be
prohibited from
installing any de
vice that allows
them to intercept
communications
from persons other
than the target”
—Barry Steinhardt
Associate director of ACLU
will only be used against criminal sus
pects. And even then, he said, the data
mined by Carnivore, particularly sub
ject lines, are already intrusive.
"Law enforcement should be pro
hibited from installing any device
that allows them to intercept com
munications from persons other than
the target," Steinhardt said in an in
terview. "When conducting these
kinds of investigations, the informa
tion should be restricted to only ad
dressing information."
A spokesperson for Rep. Charles T.
Canady, R-Fla., who heads the House
Judiciary subcommittee on the Consti
tution, said the congressman had no
comment on the letter.
In testimony to Canady's subcom
mittee, Robert Corn-Revere, a lawyer
at the Hogan & Hartson law firm in
Washington, said he represented an
Internet provider that refused to in
stall the Carnivore system. The
provider was placed in an "awkward
position," Corn-Revere said, because
the company feared suits from cus
tomers unhappy with the govern
ment looking into all the email.
"It was acknowledged (by the gov
ernment) that Carnivore would enable
remote access to the ISP's network and
would be under the exclusive control of
government agents," Com-Revere said.
Corn-Revere told the committee
that current law is insufficient to deal
with Carnivore's potential and that
the Internet provider lost its court
battle in part because of the Internet's
connection to telephone lines, and
that the law was stretched to cover
the Internet as well.
