Inmate's lawyer admits to sabotaging appeals
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A lawyer for a death row inmate admitted sabotaging his client's appeals because he didn't like the man and thought he ought to be executed.
The disclosure came Wednesday in the case of 34-year-old Russell Tucker, who is scheduled to die Thursday, Dec. 7 for the 1994 murder of a security guard.
C-coounsel Steven Allen said he hoped that the bar considered Smith's "stellar record." He spent more than 20 years as a prosecutor and has been in private practice since 1997.
A remorseful David B. Smith said he caused his co-counsel to miss a key state Supreme Court deadline for filing one of Tucker's appeals.
Millionaire sentenced to two life-prison terms
"I consider him a very courageous person," Allen said. "He came forward and did something very few people would do."
SAN ANTONIO — A millionaire businessman was sentenced yesterday to life in prison for arranging the murder of his ex-wife while she was home with her toddler quadruplets.
U. S. District Judge Edward C. Prado gave Allen Blackthorne two life prison terms, fined him $250,000 and ordered him to pay $17,000 restitution for his role in the death of Sheila Bellush. She was shot and her throat was slit in her Sarasota, Fla., home in 1997.
After the killing, two of Bellush's 2 year-old quadruplets by her second husband were found crawling in her blood. Blackthorne has maintained his innocence.
Blackthorne made his fortune selling medical devices. His Vancouver, Wash.,based business, International Rehabilitative Sciences,sells muscle stimulators under the name RS Medical.
Republicans vow to stay to continue budget battle
WASHINGTON — House Republicans, their majority status seriously at stake in Tuesday's elections, have vowed to stay at their posts for at least a few more days to continue their budget battle with President Bill Clinton.
That put them at odds with the Senate, which on Wednesday recessed until Tuesday, Nov. 14, effectively assuring the third lame-duck session of Congress in the past six years.
Americans, Russians arrive at space station
KOROLYOV, Russia — The first residents of the international space station arrived at their new home yesterday, swinging open the doors and settling in for a four-month stay.
American astronaut Bill Shepherd, the station's skipper, and Russian cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev floated into the space station about one and a half hours after their Soyuz capsule docked at 12:21 p.m.
Body identification begins for victims of plane crash
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Sobbing and holding onto one another, relatives of Singapore Airlines crash victims yesterday began the grim process of identifying the bodies of the 81 people killed, including at least 23 Americans.
Emotions also ran high in Singapore, where the brother of a man who died burst into a nationally televised Singapore Airlines news conference to denounce the airline, forcing the briefing to end.
Truce delayed after bomb kills two
JERUSALEM — A thunderous car bomb killed two Israelis near a crowded Jerusalem market yesterday, escalating tensions as Israeli and Palestinian leaders put off a truce announcement meant to end five weeks of fighting.
The Associated Press
Islamic militants claimed responsibility for the blast, which killed the daughter of a right-wing Israeli political leader. Elsewhere, Palestinian areas were again aflame, with two Palestinians killed and at least 80 injured in the West Bank, doctors and rescue workers said.
The violence endangered - and may have scuttled - the latest in a series of cease-fire agreements.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat initially planned to simultaneously declare a truce at 2 p.m.
But shortly after 3 p.m., a Mazda car loaded with explosives detonated on a narrow residential street less than 200 yards from the congested Mahane Yehuda market.
Flames leaped high into the air, sending up huge black plumes of black smoke as wailing ambulances converged on the working-class area lined with old stone apartment buildings. Eleven people — including four children — were slightly injured in addition to the two killed.
One of the deceased, Ayelet Hashahar-Levy, was the daughter of Yitzhak Levy, leader of the National Religious Party. Yitzhak Levy has served as a minister in several Israeli governments. He left his post in Barak's government because of disagreements concerning the peace process.
His daughter had just moved to Jerusalem and was bringing her belongings to a house in the area at the time of the explosion, police said. One witness said he tried to pull her from the flames.
"I saw her on the ground and her legs had been blown off," Yaakov Hassoum said. "I hoped she was alive, but she was dead."
Hundreds of onlookers clogged the streets as policemen pushed the crowd back. Some young Israelis chanted, "Death to Arabs" and "We want revenge."
A group calling itself the military wing of the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement, the group said the bombing was carried out "in reply to the enemy's crimes against our Palestinian people" and promised more attacks.
However, neither Barak nor Arafat appeared ready to formally announce the truce last night.
Israel said it was standing by the truce reached Wednesday night in a meeting between Arafat and Israeli elder statesman Shimon Peres. The agreement was intended to stop the fighting and open the borders of closed-off Palestinian areas.
The Palestinian leadership issued a statement yesterday urging Palestinians to "stick to peaceful means" in protests, but it fell well short of what Israel expected. Arafat, who met in Gaza with the European Union peace envoy, Miguel Moratinos, said the ball was in the Israeli court.
"We are still waiting for the official response of the Israeli government, especially after we had declared our statement by the name of the Palestinian leadership," Arafat said.
