Jury hears of likelier suspect in Girl Scout slayings
Defense testimony in Pryor Oklahoma raises a better suspect than Gene Hart, a convicted rapist, who rests his case as prosecutors plan rebuttal. An 11 year old camper identified a man resembling a Kansas rapist William Stevens, seen near the camp before the killings of Doris Milner Denise, Michelle Guse, and Lori Farmer. The victims were beaten and sexually assaulted before their bodies were found near their tent. In Milwaukee, James Malinowski was cleared of a DWI charge after a judge ruled brandy soaked tobacco could invalidate the breath test results.
