Policewoman Sues for Sergeant Promotion in Oakland
Policewoman Joan Hall, 31, of Oakland, filed suit against the police department seeking promotion to sergeant. She alleges Civil Service rules restrict sergeant eligibility to patrolmen and claims she was denied the required oral exam after passing the written test in 1971. A court injunction prevented new sergeant appointments until the trial, set to begin April 16. Hall said she wants a career, not just a job.

Kennedy case set to go to trial in brutal slayings
Oakland Union City man Weldon Mead Kennedy, who claims to be a vampire and the devil, is expected to stand trial in Alameda County Superior Court tomorrow for the killings of Vicki Iselin, 14, in Union City last July and Maria Oliver, 15, of Hayward the month before. Prosecutors describe Kennedy as tall and thin, with past psychiatric notes detailing vampiric delusions and a history of violence, including a screwdriver stabbing spree during an escape from custody. He has twice attempted suicide in jail and has criticized court proceedings as a kangaroo court.
