Developments in the O.J. Simpson murder trial yesterday:
Simpson update
MOTIONS DENIED: Superior Court Judge Lance Ito rejected a motion to dismiss the first jury panel and postpone jury selection until after an evidence hearing. Ito also turned down a defense request for a one-year continuance with Simpson out on bail.
CLARK COMMENTS: Deputy District Attorney Marcia Clark said her comments about a closed-door meeting in which she said prospective jurors sympathetic to Simpson were lying to get on the panel were taken out of context.
THE NEWS in brief
841-1526
NO JOKE: The defense said that they took Clark's words seriously and that the context in the reporting was just fine.
SECRET AGENDA: A prospective juror said her cohorts in the jury pool have been talking about the case and were writing answers on their jury forms that they thought the attorneys wanted to hear.
SECRET HIDEAWAY: Deputy District Attorney William Hodgman said prosecutors found a place to sequester jurors, a setting similar to a college campus where jurors could hear lectures and go for walks.
JURY SELECTION: Eleven jurors were questioned yesterday. Six were dismissed. The five who survived questioning were told to return to court Nov. 2.
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka political future clouded by suicide bomb
A lone suicide bomber wiped out top opposition leaders in Sri Lanka, diminishing hopes that peace might be at hand in a nation torn apart by more than a decade of political violence.
Gamini Dissanayake, the top opposition candidate for president, and 51 others died Sunday when a bomb packed with metal pellets exploded at an election rally.
Dissanayake had been critical of the peace talks, which were launched after parliamentary elections in August ended his United National Party's 17-year rule. The bombing killed him, three top leaders of his party and several middle-ranking leaders.
The army put up checkpoints in the capital city Colombo and patrolled the streets. The city of 1 million was under curfew.
Suspicion fell immediately on Tamil separatist rebels, who denied involvement. The newly elected government, breaking with the policy of its predecessor, had begun unconditional talks with the rebels earlier this month but suspended them after the attack.
HOUSTON
Traffic moves as water recedes
After days of flood and fire, there was some good news for southeast Texas.
Traffic moved through the Houston Ship Channel, and crews said they were running ahead of schedule in their efforts to clean up 200,000 gallons of spilled fuel and oil.
The channel was closed a week ago because of flooding caused by torrential rains. It reopened Sunday evening
after waters receded and a sunken tugboat was removed from near the mouth of the San Jacinto River. The waterway east of Houston leads into the Houston Ship Channel, one of the nation's busiest ports, and empties into Galveston Bay.
The flooding has claimed 19 lives. Thirty-five Texas counties have been designated federal disaster areas.
Coast Guard Capt. Richard Ford said that by yesterday the cleanup had cost about $3.5 million.
High waters yesterday continued to recede. In hard-hit Liberty County, east of Houston, the Trinity River stood at 28 feet, still 4 feet above flood stage but down a foot from Sunday.
PORTLAND, Oregon
Anti-abortion activist indicted
Shelley Shannon also was charged with use of fire in the commission of a felony, interfering with commerce through violence and extortion, possession of a destructive device and interstate travel in aid of racketeering.
Searches of Shannon's home in September 1993 turned up items buried in the yard, including nine letters related to bombings.
Shannon, 38, is serving a 10-year prison term for shooting George R. Tiller outside his Wichita clinic in August 1993. He was wounded in both arms.
An Oregon woman in prison for shooting an abortion doctor in Kansas was named in indictments unsealed yesterday charging her with arson attacks at clinics in four Western states.
The 30 indictments issued against Shannon had been sealed to prevent the possibility of reprisals from anti-abortion activists.
Shannon's first court appearance will be in about six weeks.
