Rapper acquitted of murder
LOS ANGELES — Rapper Snoop Dogg Dogg and his former bodyguard were acquitted of murder ves-

terdary in the shooting death of Philip Woldemariam, an Ethiopian immigrant.
Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and McKinley Lee, 25, also were acquitted of conspiracy to commit assault in the Aug. 25, 1993 incident.

against both men and an accessory after-the-fact charge against Broadus. The jury foreman said the jurors, seven men and five women, did not reach an agreement on the voluntary manslaughter charges after 15 ballots.
The panel deadlocked on a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter
Superior Court Judge John Flynn ordered the panel to resume deliberations on those counts. About an hour later, jurors went home for the evening and were to resume deliberations today.
Prosecutors claimed the two tracked Woldemariam down and shot him in cold blood at a city park after Woldemariam flashed a gang sign and shouted an obscenity in an earlier confrontation outside Broadus' apartment.
driven by Broadus.
Defense lawyers called the shooting an act of self-defense, claiming Woldemariam was going for a gun in the waistband of his pants when Lee fired at him from a Jeep that was
Prosecutor Robert Grace disputed the self-defense claim, arguing in closing statements that Woldemariam, 20, was shot in the back and buttocks as he tried to flee Broadus and Lee.
Playing off the lyrics of one of the rapper's songs — Murder Was the Case — Grace told the jury: "Murder is the crime they committed. Murder is the crime they committed. Murder is the crime they committed."
Prosecutors were hurt by a combination of contradictory testimony and destroyed evidence.
Two of Woldemariam's friends initially told police that Woldemariam was unarmed when he was shot, but they later admitted hiding the weapon to set Broadus and Lee up for a murder charge.
Prosecutors also were unable to show jurors key evidence in the
case, such as the bloody clothing Woldemariam wore.
The clothing, along with a bullet and empty shell casing, were destroyed by police in a mix-up before trial.
Defense lawyers called Woldemariam the aggressor in the dispute and argued that he was not shot in the back but in the lower left flank as he turned away from the Jeep after reaching for the gun.
The defense called only one witness before resting. The man said he saw a black Chevrolet Blazer, not a Jeep, drive to an alley near the park just before the shooting, and that a man — not Lee — walked down the alley with a gun.
Just months after the shooting, Broadad's debut album Doggystyle hit No. 1 in sales in its first week of release, making him one of the leading stars of so-called "gangsta" rap.
Europe endures grizzly blizzard
The Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — At least six people have died in a ferocious blizzard that blew across Europe for a second day yesterday.
Snow drifts were 13 feet deep across some highways in Denmark, where the storm was the worst since 1971.
Snow depths up to 3 feet were reported in parts of Germany.
had since 1877,' Swedish fisherman Biorn Beckman said.
For the first time in 17 years, Danish authorities put their snow disaster plan into effect, deploying army vehicles with caterpillar treads to assist police and ambulances.
Snow trapped about 350 travelers overnight at the western Danish domestic airport in Billund.
"This is the first real winter we've
The storm stretched as far south as Spain, where it combined with high winds to force organizers of the World Alpine Championships to postpone the men's combined downhill competition until today.
Stranded Danish motorists were forced to abandon their cars and seek shelter in schools.
Highways in southern Britain and Germany were littered with abandoned and crashed cars.
Paris' other international airport, also was shut down.
In Britain, at least 14,000 homes lost power, and about 2,000 lost electricity in northwestern France's Normandy region.
A skidding truck killed a 14-year-old boy near the Danish town of Randers.
Also, two men died of heart attacks in separate incidents while trying to free stranded cars near Aarhus.
