"Society, I don't think, is out there to put children to death, no matter what the crime might be, and I don't think that you'll sec Florida or any other state being able to execute a young person," he said.

"The courts will stop it." A death sentence imposed on a killer younger than 16 stands a "snowball's chance in Orlando" of being upheld, said Victor Streib, a Cleveland State University law professor and a national expert on juveniles on death row. Teens on death row Streib and others cite two U.S. Supreme Court decisions, a 1989 ruling that approved the execution of teen-agers who killed at age 16 and a 19X8 ruling that rejected a 15-year-old killer's death sentence in Oklahoma. Whether the 1988 ruling applies to other states that have placed specific age limits on the death penalty is a matter of debate. Florida is one of eight states that place no age limit on the death penalty.

One of Florida's 337 death-row inmates committed his crime when he was younger than 16. Jerome Allen, now 18, was 15 when he and two friends killed a Titusville gas-station attendant. He was sentenced to death at age 16. Florida's Supreme Court has yet to rule on a Sept. 1 appeal of the sentence.

The youngest person on death row is 18-ycar-old Jeffrey Farina. Three months younger than Allen, Farina was 16 when he killed a Taco Bell restaurant employee in Daytona Beach and 17 when he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. Florida has executed four 16-year-olds, the last in 1944. Jagger, who is still recovering from her wounds, said she doesn't understand what motivates children to become killers. "There must be some sort of reason, and I think it just goes back to their upbringing or backgrounds," she said.

"They may have been lost causes, no-hope kids." maintenance records show 29 Boeing 757-767 incidents of uncommanded autopilot engagements, disengagements, mode changes or (mode-control panel) window-display changes." The board, which has no enforcement powers, asked the FAA to direct the Boeing Co. and Collins Avionics, manufacturer of the autopilots, to make changes in the devices to prevent recurrence of the problems. It said it already was working with the companies on the problem. And it said the FAA should study whether the order should apply to Boeing 747-400 and Fokkcr 100 airliners, "which use similar autopilot components or have experienced similar operational difficulties." Further, it Boeing should issue an airplane flight-manuul supplement to warn pilots to be alert to the autopilot problems. Norman (I.

The shootings illustrate the problems authorities face with young, hardened criminals, said Tim Moore, commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

"They have a low value on a human life," Moore said. "They brag about being in every alternative center available, and they are increasingly younger and armed." Prosecutors and law-enforcement officials have been tight-lipped about the Colley killing and remained mum on details of the arrests even after the judge lifted the gag order barring them from discussing the case. Officials said they didn't want to violate confidentiality laws for juvenile delinquents. 'Not out for revenge' Colley's parents, Brenda Armi-tagc and Terry Colley, agreed with Jagger in rejecting the death penalty. Despite their heartache, they said Wednesday, they are not seeking vengeance and don't want the youths to be sent to the electric chair.

"I am not out for revenge that's not going to bring back Gary," the father said. Prosecutors have not said whether they will seek the death penalty or whether any of the four youths will be tried as adults. The case will go to a grand jury, which can decide whether the youths would be prosecuted as adults. State law doesn't put an age limit on capital punishment. However, Florida Attorney General Bob But-terworth said Wednesday he didn't rudder made an uncommanded movement, 16-17 degrees to the right," and caused the jetliner to go off the runway, it said.

The cockpit crew pushed the rudder pedals and was able to get the plane back on the runway. One passenger was slightly injured when an umbrella fell from an overhead compartment. The cause of the Frankfurt incident is still under investigation, said Susan Davis, a spokeswoman for the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group in Everett, Wash. "We found an anomaly in the autopilot system," she said. "But it did not cause the rudder to move." According to the FAA letter, "The safety board also has become aware of uncommanded autopilot actions in other Boeing 757 and 767 airplanes.

But the companion of a British tourist slain at a northern Florida rest stop says she doesn't want the four teen-agers charged with the shooting to get the death penally. Wearing a Florida State University sweatshirt as she talked to reporters in England on Wednesday, Margaret Jagger said she still loves America and plans to visit again. She tried to downplay any danger posed to tourists visiting the United States.

"Tourists should go, but they should be careful," she said. Jagger spoke in response to the arrests this week of four teen-agers who one law-enforcement official said "have a low value on a human life." On Wednesday, a judge lifted a gag order that suppressed details of the arrests, but little information has emerged on the suspects from Monticello, Fla. They are young one is 13, one is 14, and two are 16. They are charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and auto theft. Among them, the four are reported to have piled up at least 106 criminal charges.

Officials refused to confirm names or ages Wednesday and declined to comment on reports that at least three of the youths have lengthy arrest records. Attacked while napping Jagger, 35, and Gary Colley, 34, both of Bradford, England, were attacked Sept. 14 as they dozed at a rest stop on Interstate 10 near Monticello. Colley was killed and Jagger was wounded in the chest and upper arm when two youths began firing at the couple's rental car just after 2 a.m. in an apparent robbery attempt.

A stolen car identified by witnesses at the scene later was found ditched in Monticello just blocks from a government housing project where the boys live.

For information call: 236.2666 Special Thanks to American Express Companyl The Associated Press WASHINGTON Safety investigators are asking the Federal Aviation Administration to order corrections to faulty autopilots on Boeing 757 and 767 airliners after a plane veered off a runway in Frankfurt, Germany. In a letter to FAA Administrator David Hinson dated Monday and released Wednesday, the National Transportation Safety Board said the problem came to light June 15 as a United Airlines 767 landed at Frankfurt International Airport. Boeing said that it is reviewing the recommendation and that it plans to talk with the FAA when its review process is completed. The safety board said the pilot pushed a button to disengage the control-wheel autopilot.
