One challenge was filed by Eugene attorney Michael Phillips, who helped write a lengthy critique of the new law for the Oregon Criminal Defense Attorneys Association. Phillips represents Benny Lee Chaffin, a Springfield man who was the first in Oregon to be charged with aggravated murder after the death penalty law took effect Dec. 6. Chaffin is accused of the Dec. 8 rape murder of a 9-year-old girl. In his Lane County Circuit Court motion, Phillips asked that jurors in the case not be asked about their feelings on the death penalty. He attacked a 1968 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed prosecutors to dismiss jurors who are against the death penalty. Phillips said the resulting “death qualifying” jury would be “predisposed” to reaching a guilty verdict and would not represent a “cross section of the community” as required by the Oregon Constitution. He also criticized the sentenc ing phase of the death penalty law. which requires a jury to unanimously agree on the "probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society.” Even trained psychiatrists _ — cannot predict future violent behavior, Phillips added. Two of the other three objec tions to the death penalty are now pending in Linn County Circuit Court for three of the four defendants charged with aggravated murder in the Jan. 24 killing of a l^banon man. Attorneys Kathryn Wood of Corvallis, and James Nelson and Robert Ringo of Albany, filed objections earlier on behalf of their clients. Each argues, among other things, that the death penalty law is vague and violates the Oregon and federal constitu tions. that it amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, and that the defendants are denied their right to art impartial jury and due process. --, Thanks for4 GREAT YEARS! 4th ANNIVERSARY SA1E!

The chartered helicopter sprayed about 1.650 acres in the heart of the moth's infestation from 7 to 8:30 a.m.. said Shawn Morford, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Forestry. Spraying was delayed for a little more than an hour because of a problem with a spray nozzle. Officials were to return to the area later Wednesday to see how well the biological insecticide was distributed. Wayne Baggett, a spokesman for the spraying project, said about 8,500 acres would be treated Thursday, weather permit*ing. in an area west of Dexter and east of Pleasant Hill. All areas must be sprayed three times, he said. The forested area was chosen for the first spraying of the insecticide B.t. because the moth larva have reached their se cond state of development there and have begun eating foliage. Gypsy moths are highly destructive insects that strip trees of their leaves while in the Caterpillar stage. Officials say Lane County’s infestation is the largest west of the Rocky Mountains. The $11.4 million spray program will cover about 227,000 acres of Lane County three times over the next six weeks. Sprayers will wait seven to 10 days between applica tions, but part of the acreage is scheduled to be sprayed each day. The spray, B.t., or Bacillus thuringiensis, causes a fatal disease in the insects. No harmful health effects have been reported from B.t.. but state officials advised residents to keep children and pets indoors while helicopters are spraying and to avoid contact with the spray while it’s wet. U.S. Agriculture Secretary John Block last week declared an emergency in Lane County, releasing $6.7 million in federal funds to help battle the gypsy moth infestation. The federal funds will pay for all spraying on 66,000 acres of federal forest lands and about half the spraying costs on 161,000 acres of state-protected land. self SERVE WORd pROCESSiNq • IBM personal computers • Diablo 630 printer (Corrects your spelling!) and featuring...
