Fleming of St. Charles in July 1980 was unplanned and not brutal enough to merit the death penalty, says her assailant's attorney. But an assistant attorney general told the Missouri Supreme Court on Friday that Anthony Joe LaRette Jr. cruised the neighborhood and followed Miss Fleming, 18, to her home, planning to sexually assault and kill her.

"When he entered her home, his intent was not burglary," Kelly Klopfenstein, the assistant attorney general, asserted. "He assaulted her from behind and slit her throat first." She added that evidence shows LaRette was tearing off Miss Fleming's clothing as she battled for her life and that he stabbed her twice more in the chest "so she wouldn't get away." A neighboring family said Miss Fleming, covered with blood and wearing only a swimsuit top, ran to their door, and they summoned police and an ambulance. She died of loss of blood! Death sentences are automatically appealed to the Supreme Court. Its decision in the LaRette case is not expected for several weeks. LaRette's attorney, Donald C.

Tiemeyer, said LaRette's statements to police showed he merely planned a burglary in Miss Fleming's apartment, but she arrived home while he was still in the basement. She was changing clothes when LaRette placed a hand over her mouth and told her not to scream, that he only wanted to escape, Tiemeyer said. But when she began screaming, his reaction was to stab her, Tiemeyer said. He added, "There was no evidence of any sexual assault." LaRette, now 31, had suffered "extreme emotional problems and marital discord," Tiemeyer told the court in arguing his appeal. He also argued that the murder conviction siiould be overturned because of delays and changes in the charge before LaRette was tried.

Ms. Klopfenstein said the delays and changes were reasonable. The death sentence was ordered a year ago by Judge Edward D. Hodge of Warren County Circuit Court after a jury had convicted LaRette of capital murder and had recommended death. The case was moved to Warren County because of publicity in St.

Charles County. LaRette was convicted in 1974 of raping a woman in Lawrence, after following her home from a bank. He was paroled after serving about 3'i years in prison there, authorities said. He was visiting a friend in St. Charles at the time of Miss Fleming' killing.

He was arrested later near his home in Kansas. His father, Anthony Joe LaRette 61, of Topeka, was sentenced last year to six months in prison for trying to arrange his son's escape from the St. Charles County Jail. U.S. Attorneys Confer On Anti-Drug Task Force Eleven U.S.

attorneys from the Midwest met Friday in St. Louis to discuss their objectives for a new anti-drug task force announced earlier this month by President Ronald Reagan. Thomas E. Dittmeier of St. Louis, the U.S.

attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, was chairman at the meeting. St. Louis is to be a regional headquarters for the task force. Dittmeier said the meeting had dealt with problems specific to the region. Subjects ranged from marijuana cultivation in rural areas to the involvement of organized crime.

Dittmeier has said that although cocaine is a problem in St. Louis, a larger problem is T's and blues, two legally produced capsules that drug abusers combine and then inject as a heroin substitute. Attending the meeting were U.S. attorneys from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. Also attending was a representative of the U.S.

attorney's office for the Southern District of Illinois. As many as 150 new federal agents, investigators and prosecutors may be based in St. Louis as part of the drug crackdown, officials said.
