Jury Clears Mitchell Stans of All Charges in Vesco Case
A Mon jury acquitted Mitchell and Stans of conspiring to commit fraud for Vesco's scheme tied to Watergate. Key witnesses included Vesco’s aides and Nixon insiders, with lingering questions about any connection to the Nixon campaign and the Watergate affair. The verdict spares them further trials but leaves unresolved ties to campaign finance and SEC actions.

Foreman says jury sure truth was told in Vesco probe
Jurors who acquitted on main charges say testimony by John Dean was doubted as self serving while trying to gain a lighter sentence. They found no connection to Watergate, and noted the panel weighed perjury counts only after a stalemate. The jurors believed the government lacked strong evidence.

Zebra killings prompt police stop-and-search ruling
Ward says officers cannot act on a composite description under current rules while Sgt Roche questions police power to stop suspects based on victim or witness provided descriptions. Since last November 12 people have been killed and six wounded in random shootings by a black gunman targeting white victims. Police had halted 600 stops before a federal judge ruled the tactic unconstitutional, with the city filing an appeal.

Nixon to speak on TV plan over Watergate tapes
Presidential aides say only 36 conversations need transcription with six lacking tapes. Nixon’s team edits tapes for coarse language and security. Rodino seeks full unedited tapes, not transcripts. White House anticipates transcripts will exonerate Nixon while a White Paper outlines Nixon’s knowledge of the cover up. Yeager said evidence would be compelling and the end of Watergate in sight.
