Law makes testifying easier for rape victims
Jefferson City, Mo. AP The mother of a teen rape victim says a new state law will aid future prosecutions by shielding victims from courtroom harassment. Gov Teasdale signed provisions banning most evidence of a victim's prior sexual conduct and approved a revision of the 142 year old criminal code. Also signed were measures on public financing for transitions between officials, a $10 daily expense increase for lawmakers, and extending a 55 mile per hour speed limit on highways through 1979. The mother helped rally support after her daughter's 25 year ordeal and two earlier trials before a conviction was secured.
