"The same allegations were made during the trial," Shearer said. "They did not succeed then and I don't anticipate the motion will succeed now." Megela said: "I have played this thing over and over again in my mind and I'm still 100 percent convinced" of Rucker's involvement. "I would never knowingly do anything to put an innocent man behind bars for life," said Shannon. "Suddenly, they're shifting responsibility from the man who was indicted and convicted to the policemen policemen who missed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's with families to crack the case." Rucker's attorney, however, was not dissuaded. "I wasn't there.

America, a charter member of the Brvn Mawr Welsh Club of Akron and the Triple Tour Club. She was born in a small Welsh town near Swansea, a coal-mining center of Wales. Her family said she inherited the Welsh love of singing as a listener, however, rather than as a vocalist.
She made at least four trips to Wales to visit relatives, the last one about nine years ago. She had planned another trip more recently, but it was canceled when a younger sister who was to accompany her died. She was a member of the Boulevard United Methodist Church and was active in its Sunday school. She did volunteer work in crafts for Welsh organizations until she began to lose her sight about a year ago. Mrs.

David Carritt, the English art historian, critic and dealer who was responsible for more sensational discoveries in the field of Old Master painting since World War II than any other man, died of cancer in London on Tuesday at the age of 55.

Megela acknowledged warning Maynard that he would go to jail if he lied in a sworn statement given to the detectives, but denied threatening the 20-year-old Lodi farm worker. "It is not a threat. It is a state of affairs," Megela said. "If you lie under oath, you can be arrested. Besides, I don't use that term (punching license plates)." Maynard also claimed he was paid $10 by Shannon and promised that charges of petty theft and probation violation pending in Medina County would be dropped.
SHANNON SAID he gave Maynard $2 to buy cigarettes, but denied other payments or giving Maynard the money in return for specific testimony. "The man was broke," Shannon said. "I got sick and tired of his bumming my cigarettes, so I gave him $2 to buy his own." Megela admitted telling Maynard during an interview at the Medina County Jail that he would "speak favorably" to his parole officer if Maynard "told the truth" about the Harmon murder. However, Megela said he was only trying to encourage Maynard, who had just broken into tears and admitted that Rucker and Holbrook had taken him to see Tina's body. "He said he had lied to us before because Ernie and Rucker, on three separate occasions, had threatened to kill him if he talked about what he had seen," Megela said.
Megela said Maynard also believed he would be disloyal if he implicated Rucker and Holbrook. "I can still hear him: 'Ernie is my cousin and I love him. Herman is my best Megela said. SHANNON echoed Megela's account of the jailhouse interview and said Maynard was given a lie-detector test about the statements. Shannon said the test, administered by Canton police Major Jim Fetterman, showed "absolutely no deception in any of his answers in 13 critical areas of his statements.
"In his (Fetterman's) opinion, he was telling us the absolute truth," Shannon said. Fetterman could not be Pre-Fall Sale. Classmates Tops and jeans that pair up for school lots of smart ways.

Megela said Maynard 's statements were "substantiated by independent sources." "He had lied so many times that we checked, double-checked and triple-checked to make sure what he told us was the truth and not just what he thought we wanted to hear," Megela said. Shannon also denied that he and Megela prompted Maynard on his testimony at Rucker's trial. "He knew, before anyone told him and without prompting or suggestion, the clothes the girl was wearing when her body was found, the description of the necklace and how she was killed," Shannon said.
An aunt testified during the trial that she gave Tina a heart-shaped pendant last year for her birthday. The necklace has not been recovered. Shannon said that he and Megela talked with Maynard two weeks before the trial, but told him only to tell the truth not what that truth should be. "He told us: 'My dad's been talking to me. I'm supposed to tell the truth, and that's what I'm going to do.

The Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association is circulating petitions aimed at getting 5,000 signatures asking council to pass an ordinance authorizing use of the special ammunition. Hollow-point bullets are said to be more effective than standard ammunition because they flatten upon entering a subject and have been proven to have greater stopping power.
"I don't know why they keep asking me because everytime they've asked me, I've turned it down," Forbes said. "But this time, I want to be emphatic about it. (.
