First Hispanic Attorney
General Named
Terry Washington in 1997 and
pickax murderer Karla Faye T ucker,
for whom clemency was sought
by Pope John Paul 11, in 1998.
While Texas’ governor. Bush
oversaw more than 150 executions.
Liberals are reviewing claims
that as Bush's legal counsel in
Texas, Gonzales on clemency pe
titions '’repeatedly failed to ap
praise the governor of crucial is
sues in the cases at hand: ineffec
tive counsel, conflict o f interest,
mitigating evidence, even actual
evidence of innocence."
Gonzales drew criticism after
the terrorist attacks in 2001 when
he wrote a memo in which Bush
claimed the right to waive anti
torture law and international trea
ties prov iding protections to pris
oners of war. That position drew
fire from human rights groups, who
said it helped lead to the type of
abuses uncovered in the Abu
Ghraib prison scandal.
I A P)— The road to White House
counsel Alberto G on/ales confir
mation as the first Hispanic U.S.
attorney general may run through
two controversial places: the noto
rious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and
Texas's death row.
Although most senators expect
President Bush's longtime friend
and White House lawyer to be con-
finned as the 80th U.S. attorney
general to replace John Ashcroft,
Democrats plan to use a hearing on
his nomination to press for answers
on White House decisions they
think led to the Iraqi prisoners scan
dal.
Death penalty opponents also
want Gonzales questioned on how
the Justice Department will apply'
the federal death penalty given
Gonzales' time in Texas as adviser
to then-Gov. Bush.
Gonzales was part o f Bush's in
ner circle of advisers during the
execut ions of mentally retarded killer

No Parole for Family Killer
(A P )— Edward Morris, the north Portland man who
killed his pregnant wife and three children and left their
bodies in a snowy forest two years ago, was sentenced
to four consecutive life terms in prison on Monday.
Morris, 39, avoided a possible death sentence by
promising not to appeal the life term s in a plea agree
ment reached in September.
Tillamook County Circuit Judge David Hantke re
minded him there will be no parole and "no mitigation
o f sentence of any kind.”
The bodies of Morris’ wife, Renee, 31, and their
children, Bryant, 10, Alexis, 8 and Jonathan, 4. were found
Dec. 21,2002, in the snow near a logging road about 30
miles east of Tillamook by elk hunters and police.

Phillips says that in the past, she has engaged the
public, the business community, the faith community,
libraries, the arts world and various other creative
sources in relationships anchored around children.
“How we get there is the innovation. It takes creativ
ity, partnerships and attention to uniqueness of neigh
borhoods. We shouldn’t expect any less of one kid that
walks in our door than the next,” Phillips said.
