Court denies conviction, upholds Miranda rule
WASHINGTON (AP) - A sharply divided and unusually emotional Supreme Court, ignoring prosecutors' attacks on the Miranda rule, overturned the murder yesterday of an Iowa man who had led police to the body of a young murder victim.
The justices voted 5-4 that Robert Anthony Williams had been unfairly convicted because police had denied him the right to bail and attorney present during questioning.
The case held great interest for law enforcement officials and civil liberty lawyers because Iowa prosecutors had used it to attack one of the Supreme Court's most
controversial decisions, the Miranda ruling.
HANDED DOWN in 1968 by the liberal-dominated court under former Chief Justice Earl Warren, the Miranda decision told police that a criminal suspect in custody be informed of his rights to be represented by an attorney and to remain silent.
The current court's more conservative makeup under Chief Justice Warren Burger has restricted use of the Miranda doctrine, and many legal experts said they believed the court would use Williams case to destroy it.
Indeed, Richard Turner, Iowa attorney general, urged the court to do so, arguing
Survey honors research
The Kansas Geological Survey will celebrate its 113th anniversary of mineral resource research from 1:30 to 5 p.m. tomorrow at Moore Hall on west campus.
The Survey, a division of the University of Kansas, is a research and development organization applying geology to problems of society and economy.
Some major attractions of the open house will be exhibits of world minerals, glass blowing, earthquakes in Kansas and mineral fuels. Graphic arts, ceramic testing, water analysis and oil shale distillation will also be featured.
Rod Hardy, director of information and education for the Survey, said that by attending the open house people would learn more about earth science research and new types of equipment used to research earth science problems.
"We encourage KU faculty and students who are interested in the environment and program development."
said. "We have a very strong relationship with the main campus and have about $750,000 in sophisticated research equipment."
The Survey's staff members teach geology, geophysics, chemical and petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science.
About 100 people make up the staff, including clerical and technical employees and about 40 students. The Survey employs a five-year program and is developing a five-year program.
This program is being developed by the Geological Survey Advisory Council, the State Agency Liaison Council to the USGS, and the State Agency Groundwater Management Districts.
The Survey has received national and international recognition in computer science.
Refreshments will be served after the open house. For more information, contact us.

POLICE HAD promised the attorney that williams would not be questioned during a court appearance.
Williams, 25, was arrested in Davenport, Iowa, for the murder of 10-year-old Pamela Powers of Des Moines on Christmas Eve 1988.

THE CHIEF SPONSORS of the bill, led by Rep. Frank Thompson Jr., D.-N.J., worked out a compromise on the House floor to win a majority in the Senate. County count proved the vote was close to call.
The compromise, offered by Rep. Ronald A. Sarsarin, R-Conn., would cut the bill back after a congressional agreement on by Congress a year later. The president voted by then-President R. Ford. R
The court's majority opinion, written by Justice Potter Stewart, says the police officer's successful but illegal questioning of the suspect may have been allowed during "Witness'r."lial
The Sarasin compromise passed by a vote of 246 to 177.
LABOR HAD claimed the bill merely restored to construction workers equal rights to picket their entire work site as other union members can do.
Burger, in a dissent speaking only for himself, said the majority opinion yielded a bidding order.
With varying degrees of passion, the court's four dissenters Wednesday launched a series of protests.
The bill would permit a striking union to shut down an entire construction site by delaying any contract.
As a result of Wednesday's decision, Williams, who escaped from a mental hospital at the time of the 1968 murder, could be released pending a new trial.
House defeats bill to expand picketing
IF A NEW trial is held, prosecutors won't be able to use the incriminating statements Williams made to the police detective during the car trip. They also won't be able to tell jurors that Williams led police to the young girl's body.
"The result reached by the court in this case ought to be intolerable in any society that purports to call itself an organized society," Burger said. "It mechanically and blindly keeps reliable evidence from juries."
BUT REPUBLICANS forced through amendments substantially weakening the bill even before voting on the Sarasin compromise.
UNDER CURRENT law, construction unions are allowed to picket only one gate at a work site. Workers belonging to other unions can continue construction by entering a different entrance to avoid crossing a picket line.
The bill would limit the picketing,
however, to prevent interference with the
The amendments would exempt most residential housing construction projects and would exempt all projects currently under construction at the time the bill was signed into law.
