But, Judge J. Randall Wyatt asked the public defender's office last week to place its files on the second inmate, accused bank robber Larry Teriecki, under seal in the custody of Criminal Court Clerk Joe Torrance. Senior Assistant Public Defenders Karl Dean and Ross Alderman filed a notice in Criminal Court on April 3, stating that their office might have a conflict of interest in representing both Smith and Teriecki Prosecutors say Teriecki may testify for the prosecution when Smith goes to trial in July.

The public defender's office subsequently withdrew from representing Teriecki. Dean told Wyatt during a hearing on April 1 1 that he and Alderman will not confront Teriecki with confidential information that other lawyers in the public defender's office received while representing VACATION A CHEAT SCHOOL "The key issues in this race are experience and preparation," Rucker said.

That experience on the bench is what sets him apart in this race, Corlew said. As General Sessions judge be has presided over cases in the Chancery Court at the requests of those judges. "The important thing is that I have tried numbers and numbers of lawsuits right here in the district," he said.

State funding advocated for lane upgrade JOHN DEMPSEY State Writer BRENTWOOD State officials should help pay for upgrading Moores Lane from tax dollars generated when commercial development south of the road is completed, Brentwood's vice mayor says. Currently, the city will be responsible for financing much of the road's improvements, according to Jack Fletcher. Tennessee Department of Transportation officials told him Moores Lane will not be designated a state highway nor will the state spend any money on roadwork here, Fletcher said. "It's time the state helped us," he said. "We don't have that kind of money.

All the other malls in the state are on state highways, not on a city street." The CoolSprings Galleria shopping complex will front on Moores Lane, although it will be located entirely inside the Franklin city limits. Cost estimates for widening a one-mile stretch of Moores Lane between Mallory Lane and Franklin Road to a four-lane road range from $1.7 million to $4 million. CBL and Associates, the mall's developer, has agreed to chip in $400,000 toward that section of road-work and will be solely responsible for widening another portion of Moores Lane between Mallory Lane gjOGouDiai ATTEI1TIOI1!
