“He confirmed he was a scout in the hear
ing,” Sosh-Lightsy said of Prowse. “By the
PMC definition, the seout is the day-to-day dis
ciplinarian. That and reading the summary (of
cavalry practices) in its entirety was the evi
dence we used.”
Prowse has said that he was no longer a mem
ber of the cavalry in October 2002 when viola
tions were received, and that he had not been
involved in the hazing activities described by the
Department of Student Life.
Sosh-Lightsy will continue her testimony
Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the 272nd District Courtroom
at the Brazos County Courthouse.
FBI
Continued from page 1
According to Burden, Butler
said “You have no choice” but
to notify those officials.
Prosecutors allege that Butler
reported the vials missing in
retaliation for and to deflect
attention from difficulties with
the university’s Institutional
Review Board.
Butler’s defense team has
portrayed him as a dedicated
researcher who was doing
plague research for the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention, the U.S. Army and
the Food and Drug
Administration. His attorneys
say he did nothing criminal.
His defense lawyer on
Monday argued the professor
should have been exempt from
filing certain government fonns
upon his return from Tanzania
because his specimen were diag
nostic in nature, the Lubbock
Avalanche-Journal reported in
its Tuesday editions.
“It appears Dr. Butler is
doing what they requested he
do, doesn’t it?” Chuck
Meadows asked Mark Hemphill,
an official with the CDC.
Hemphill replied that CDC
and Army people with whom
Butler had dealt had no authori
ty to let him circumvent federal
rules governing possession and
transportation of agents such as
Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that
causes plague.
Prosecutor Dick Baker later
asked Hemphill if anyone within
a government agency told Butler
that he did not need proper per
mits and licenses to transport the
potentially deadly bacteria.
Hemphill responded that no
one had.
He said even CDC investiga
tors with samples of the SARS
virus following this year’s Asia
outbreak had to properly register
them before returning to the
United States.
Also Monday, FBI agent
Shannon Fish testified during
defense cross-examination that
Butler was cooperative and
admitted he accidentally
destroyed the samples, but only
after being told that was what
investigators concluded must
have been what happened.
The trial is to resume
Wednesday, following a break
for Veterans’ Day.
NEWS IN BRIEF
High court agrees to hear
first anti-terror case
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court
agreed Monday to hear its first case arising from
the war on terrorism, an appeal asking whether
foreigners held at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba
may contest their captivity in American courts.
The case concerns more than 650 prisoners
held essentially incommunicado at
Guantanamo Bay. The Bush administration
maintains that because the men were picked up
overseas on suspicion of terrorism and are
being held on foreign land they may be detained
indefinitely without charges or trial.
The men, mostly Muslims, have no access to
lawyers or other outsiders, and do not even
know they are the subject of the case the court
agreed to hear, according to lawyers who have
taken up their cause.
The detentions are part of a global campaign
against terrorism that has outraged civil liberties
groups and left some U.S. allies grumbling.
