Tate Trial Turns On Offenses In Open Court
In Los Angeles the Sharon Tate murder trial spirals into daily scenes of entrances and exits by Charles Manson and three female co defendants. They have been banished twice for singing and hurling insults and may be ushered in each morning in hopes of polite behavior. The four defendants face murder conspiracy charges over the Tate killings and related slayings. Manson and the followers caused courtroom disruptions with song and taunts prompting exclusion, while defense lawyers argue the right to be present is violated. The trial continued with defendants listening via loudspeakers from adjacent rooms. Manson sang That Old Black Magic and pressed for the trial to proceed without him.

Three Judes Uphold Law For 18 Vote
A three judge panel in Washington on Friday upheld the constitutionality of the 1970 Voting Rights Act including the 18 year old vote provision. The decision rejected New Yorkers' challenge to all provisions of the Act, and noted the 14th Amendment does not bar lowering the voting age by simple legislation. The ruling supports the federal effort to end literacy tests and residency requirements while aligning with broader equal protection goals.
