 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Tuesday, December 02, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12B JANKLOW TRIAL STARTS SECOND DAY On Monday the manslaughter trial of Representative Bill Janklow started by selecting the jury. Out of the 90 prospective jurors there were 12 members and 1 alternate selected, making a total of 13 jurors (unlucky for some). After the jury was seated, both the prosecution and the defense made openning remarks. Testimony began today. Randy Scott's friend, Terry Johnson who was motorcycling with him that afternoon on August 16 said did not see the accident, but when he realized what happened, he went into a field to search for his friend’s body saying, "I found him face up. I stood by Randy’s body for a few minutes and then walked back to the motorcycle."When defense attorney Ed Evans questioned Johnson, he asked how Johnson never saw Janklow's white Cadillac coming through the intersection. Johnson replied he did not know why. Michael and Patty Jenkins Of Garretson were moving toward Janklow in their white car right before the intersection. They say it looked like Janklow's car never slowed for the stop sign and then the crash happened. They then stopped and then went to check on Janklow and his aide, Chris Braendlin. Monica Collins testified that about 5 minutes before the crash, a car similar to Janklow's passed her. "He passed me as if I were standing still,". JOYCE FERRIS TO HAVE SURGERY At about 1 or 2pm. this afternoon Joyce Ferris was scheduled to have an intricate operation that will give her an artificial ball joint in her leg and pin her hip, leg and this new joint together. This surgery is supposed to take about 2 hours. "UNCLE JAKE" BISBEE TO CONTRIBIUTE TO HOLABIRD ADVOCATE by Jerry Hinkle Some people know someone who is not related by blood or marriage, but because of their close ties to the family they are usually refered to as "Uncle So and so" or "Aunt So and so". for me one such person is my Uncle Jake Bisbee from Dogpatch, Arkansas. His place has just been wired for internet, and he's wanting to help me out. From time to time he's going to expose ways in which he thinks we as a nation are asleep. He will call his column, "Wake up America". Uncle Jake will do this free of charge because he don't consider it work and "I don't take charity". He thinks that letting me tell off the people of this country is payment enough I guess. I predict he will be a good fighter in our "war on ignorance" even though I'm not sure whose side he will be on sometimes.
