3A (Thf AnnlfltOH 1ar Monday. March 15, 1982 Charles Green makes bid for Senate seat 14 die in Alabama weekend mishaps Anniston banker and Republican Charles Green officially announced his candidacy for the District 20 state Senate seat now held by Donald Holmes of Oxford. Speaking at a press conference this morping at Anniston's Downtowner Motor Inn before an audience of about 25 persons, the 24-year-old Green indicated he will try to make Holmes' past record a key campaign issue. "In January, one out of every six workers in this county did not have a job," Green said. "This points to the fact that we have been denied leadership from our state senator, who is more interested in getting elected than concerning himself with the needs of his constituents." Green criticized Holmes for bogging down the county's Economic Development Council by using it "as a political forum from which he could sell himself." He also charged that Holmes "has as much influence in Montgomery today as he had six years ago when he first entered the Legislature.

And, that's not very much." If elected, Green said he will work for changes in the state's educational system to make it more "conducive to the needs of the state's economy. He said he will support more prison con struction. And "above all I will do everything I can to bring new jobs and economic opportunities to the people of Calhoun County." A Piedmont native, Green is unmarried, president of the Anniston Jaycees and a loan officer at Commercial National Bank. He is a 1979 graduate of the University of Alabama where he was a member af Jasons, a senior men's honorary, and president of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. Green said being a Republican will not hurt him during the campaign because "Calhoun County is looking for the man, not the party," CHARLES GREEN Go fly a kite!

Regis Witness admits murder but he can't be retried JSU purchases alumni house JACKSONVILLE The Alumni Association at Jacksonville State University may be wondering who's on first, but at least the association has finally found itself a ballpark.

JSU is still seeking an alumni affairs director, but the university has found an alumni house. When Julia Kingston resigned her post as alumni director last January, a five-member search committee "Whittled a list of 18 applicants down to three. Following applicant interviews with administrative officials, the committee made a recommendation to JSU President Theron Montgomery. Montgomery offered the post to the committee's choice, and received a tentative acceptance. Shortly before a public announcement of the new director of alumni affairs, JSU's man had a change of heart, and rejected the post.

In the wake of his about-face, JSU officials reevaluated the position, deciding to break administration of alumni affairs into two jobs, Montgomery said. One person will be named director of alumni affairs, another director of development, charged with fund-raising duties and development proposals, Montgomery said. Both will be full-time positions, he added. While the search for two alumni directors begins anew, the alumni association's executive committee has named an interim coordinator of alumni affairs. Ann Pack, former assistant to JSU's first alumni director, Julia Kingston, will fill that bill until two directors are found, Montgomery said.

JSU will advertise the positions in April, though it has not been decided whether the same alumni search committee will coordinate the search again, Montgomery said. While the hunt for alumni directors goes on, renovation of a recently purchased alumni house is slated to begin. JSU recently purchased the Roebuck property for $225,000, Montgomery said. He said the monies from the university's plant fund would finance the purchase and renovation. JSU purchased the property, several acres running from Pelham Road to Church Street, from Flint Gray nephew of the former owner of the property, Alfred Roebuck, Montgomery said.

Montgomery said the three-bedroom house will be renovated and used as an alumni house, with bedrooms for guests, activity areas and a university club. The alumni will assume operation of the house, Montgomery said, with either the alumni association or the development office leasing the house from the university. An addition will be built on the rear of the house to accommodate the alumni university club, Montgomery said.

10, 1980, David Coleman said, he put his revolver to the head of a young taxi driver and killed him. "He just sat there and I shot him," Coleman, 20 years old, confessed last week at the trial of a friend, John Evans. Evans was accused of participating in the murder, which took place near his house after he was unable to pay the $2 cab fare. Coleman's testimony prompted the jury to acquit the 21-year-old Evans. It also touched off a major debate among irate citizens, lawyers and government prosecutors because Coleman cannot be convicted for the crime.

What'the jury did not know was that Coleman had already been found not guilty of the killing two months ago by another jury at a trial in which he did not testify. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution prevents a defendant from being put in jeopardy twice for the same crime. LEGAL AUTHORITIES here said it was the first case they could think of in which an acquitted defendant had admitted his guilt in a murder trial and used his confession to help another defendant. Newman Flanagan, the district attorney for Suffolk County, which includes Boston, charged that Coleman "literally got away with murder." "This is a situation where you have a defendant who took advantage of one of the cornerstones of our great Constitution and fell through the cracks," he said. But Alan M.

Dershowitz, a professor at the Harvard Law School, contended that Flanagan's office had simply "botched the case." "When a guilty defendant is acquitted because of bungling by a prosecutor who then blames it on the Constitution or the legal system, it's a monumental cop-out," said Dershowitz, an expert on criminal law. HE ASSERTED that Flanagan's office should have cross-examined Coleman more rigorously after his confession to bring out his earlier acquittal for the jury. And Dershowitz also charged that the district attorney had used faulty tactics at two key points. In Dershowitz' view, the district attorney's office should not have allowed the two defendants, Coleman and Evans, to be tried separately, nor should it have filed a pretrial motion that, in Evans's trial, barred any mention of Coleman's acquittal. "I think we are seeing repeated instances of relatively inept prosecution by poorly prepared lawyers across the state," Dershowitz said.

Flanagan was involved in another controversy last fall when his tactics backfired in the trial of two young men accused of the rape and murder of a nurse in Boston's expensive Back Bay section. The state seemed to have strong enough evidence against both men to obtain first-degree murder convictions, including eyewitness testimony, fingerprints and the murder weapon. Conviction would have carried a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole. But instead Flanagan let one of the men plead guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for testifying against the other. The jury felt both men were equally guilty and so convicted the second defendant only of the lesser charge.

Both will be eligible for parole in 15 years. THE FATHER of the dead cab driver, Walter J. Butkiewicz, a 68-year-old retired dispatcher for the Fire Department, said the legal system was to blame for the fiasco. Butkiewicz recalled that his son, Walter J. Butkiewicz had been "a hard-luck kid." He had been driving the taxi for only a few days before his death because he had been laid off from his regular job after being struck by a car while riding his motorcycle home from work.

"When he started driving the taxi, I told him, 'Don't do it, you could get Butkiewicz said. "But he needed the money and said not to worry." DOUS 5 ULhSUJSI MI UK LI CLEARANCE FILE CABINETS. SAVINGS!
