European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 21, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Monday november 21, 1994 . The stars and stripes Page 5 Ito s wife los Angeles apr . Simpson would seem i by a into the Media Glare. Except headlines and Appeal fodder. Legal experts say that might be enough. Experts Are considering a number of a even if Quot possibilities even if another judge allows police capt. Peggy York to testify today about a key detective in the Simpson murder Case Sneps not Likely to have much to say about Mark Fuhrman because she was just one among Many watch commanders at the station where Fuhrman worked from 1985 to �?T86. Even if she has something to say it has to be relevant to the Simpson Case if she a to be a witness at trial. All indications now Are that if she does have any pertinent information on Fuhrman it probably has More to do with sexism than racism. Even if Yorkus testimony is relevant and her husband Ito is taken off the Case Over that conflict of interest it would just mean More delay for a defendant to have Little to gain by thrusting judge Lance Ito a wife who says he wants fast Justice. Even if Simpson decides to try to slow things Down there a no guarantee he will get a More sympathetic judge. And even if he does that judge in t Likely to revisit any of Ito a decisions anyway. V a Why do they bring in this watch commander a asked Stanley Goldman Law professor at Loyola University. A the Media would not be doing any York it. Stories if it was some other watch commanders. They re doing stories because its Ito a wife a a Story like this does no to just make the to news it makes for a Juicy news teaser and that a about All Dan scraps from Dino Bones believed found in Utah mine by Cox news service fragments of what appears to be Dinosaur Dan have been recovered from 80 million year old Bones found in a Utah Coal mine scientists reported Friday. Jurassic Park its not but researchers say the Gene sequences they have teased from the Bones Are unlike those of any modern animal on Earth. A this is something that we be never seen before a something that Hasni to been seen for 80 million years a said Scott Woodward a microbiologist at Brigham Young University in Utah who believes the material is part of the genetic essence of a cretaceous age Dinosaur. A the find adds to a body of evidence showing that under rare circumstances intact Dan can survive for a surprisingly Long time. Scientists had Long assumed that the fragile molecule carrying a creatures genetic traits deteriorated rapidly after death. In recent years however the ability to amplify tiny scraps of Dan has enabled researchers to sequence genes from 7,000-year-old human remains a 40,000-year-old woolly Mammoth and a 120 million year old Weevil preserved in ancient tree sap. The scientific excitement generated by those milestones has triggered a worldwide Hunt for ancient Dan. Although several research groups have claimed to have found Dinosaur Dan none of the claims a including Woodward so has yet been confirmed independently. Woodward a report on nine distinct genetic sequences from two a a Likely Dinosaur Bones is published in the current Issue of the journal science. He said he is convinced he has the real thing for several reasons. Although the Coal bed in which the Bones were found lies 1,800 feet below the surface it was once a part of a peat bog bordering the Mancos sea a vast Inland sea that covered Eastern Utah 80 million years ago. Woodward theorizes that thick peat deposits quickly covered the Bones creating an oxygen free environment that helped preserve them. Scientists Are sure that dinosaurs were once abundant in the area because hundreds of footprints representing at least a dozen species of dinosaurs a have been found in the Coal Rich formation Over the years. A we think the Bone we found is a very rare occurrence a Woodward a this fragment shown in Provo Utah is believed to be an 80 trillion year old Dinosaur Bone from which scientists say they extracted Dan. Said. A there Haven to been Many documented finds of Bone in Coal mines. The age at which the Coal was deposited and the age of dinosaurs done to overlap  although sceptics say the Dan sequenced by the team May be the result of Laboratory contamination possibly with modern Day bacteria Woodward has compared the sequences to Gene Bank records of modern animals. The ancient Dan differs from All known species by at least 30 percent a bearing the closest resemblance to Birds and reptiles which Are thought to be the evolutionary descendants of the dinosaurs. Because the Gene sequences contain Only enough material to identify 174 base pairs of Dan a a fraction of the several billion base pains that make up the genetic blueprint of Complex organisms a Woodward said any thought of reconstituting a living Dinosaur is out of the question. A Jurassic Park was pure fantasy a he said. A even if we had the Complete code to think that we could take Dan from any organism living or dead and put it All Back in the Correct order and then turn it on and have it work is far beyond our  just members of the jury Pool Are allowed to Sec. During july selection last week several prospective alternates said they saw Ito a own to interview through teasers and full Page newspaper ads hyping it. If members of the jury or the alternate Pool see any Fuhrman coverage it could help Simpson. A it could be one More Way to undermine Mark Fuhr Many a credibility when he takes the stand a said Robert Pugsley a Law professor at southwestern University in Georgetown Texas. Fuhrman is a key part of the Case against Simpson he reported finding a bloody Glove on Simpsons estate the morning after the killings. Police say its the mate of a Glove found near the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman the former football Star is charged in the knife slayings of his sex wife and her Friend june 12. Raise doubts about Fuhrman and his credibility the defense theory goes and you raise doubts about the Glove was it Simpson who dropped it or was it Fuhrman painted As a racist with a propensity for framing Blacks res to Cut open rival i Lewisburg . A a former Beauty Chieen sobbing on the witness stand denied telling a j ail inmate that she wanted to slice open the belly of or romantic rival. A a in a not a person who could even think that Way a said Tracy Lippard a 1993 runner up for miss Virginia who is being tried for attempted murder. A i spent five Days in jail with two girls a Lippard testified Friday. A they did nothing but make Tun of me and threaten me and try to get me in trouble. It makes me  prosecutors say that the Day after Lippard crowned her successor As miss Williamsburg in february she armed herself with a pistol Hammer Butcher knife and lighter fluid and drove 250 Miles to kill Todd Scott a Girlfriend Melissa Feikje and her parents. Weikle a father testified that Lippard lied about car trouble to get into his Home then nit him with a Hammer and pulled put a gun. He wrestled her to the floor. After she was arrested and jailed on Battery and weapons charges Lippard allegedly told a cellmate that she had wanted to rip open the belly of Melissa Weikle who was eight months pregnant with Scott a child Weikle and Scott were married three months ago. Prosecutors added three counts of attempted murder Lippard said that she went to the House Only because she thought Scott was there and that she had planned to confront him and find out whether he would stay with her or Weikle. She said she brought a Butcher knife with a 6-Inch Blade and a 32-ounce can of lighter fluid to vandalize his car if he rejected her. She said she became disoriented after Weikle a father subdued her. Also Friday judge Charles Lobban reduced a felony malicious wounding charge to Misdemeanour Battery reducing her potential liability if convicted on All charges from 39 years to 30 years in prison. Strange noises heard on plane paper says Pittsburgh apr passengers complained about hearing Odd sounds aboard us air flight 427 before its deadly crash the Greensburg Tribune review has reported citing Federal court records. Documents filed in Chicago said there were at least three reports that passengers had heard strange noises during the flight to Chicago. The Jet left Chicago for Pittsburgh later sept 8 and went Down a few Miles from Pittsburgh killing All 132 people aboard. The newspaper quotes the documents filed in lawsuits against the airline As saying us air s maintenance Foreman in Chicago apparently took no action because the planets Pilot had told him the aircraft was Fine. In a deposition the us air Mechanic in charge of the planets departure said he was never told of the complaints. If he had been he said the Boeing 737 would not have left Chicago. The cause of the crash is under investigation
