Tamilia revoked the defendant's $23,000 property bond that had put him back on the streets in January. The state Supreme Court in December allowed Hines to withdraw his 12-year-old guilty plea after ruling there was insufficient evidence to indicate his plea was made knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily. The victim was found in a parking lot near her home the night after she failed to return from a party in her neighborhood. She had been raped and stabbed more than 100 times and the back of her head was crushed by a rock, Because of the lapse in time, much of the evidence the jury heard in the two-day trial consisted of transcripts of testimony by six key witnesses in the first trial.

Three of the witnesses have died in the 12 years while three others could not be found. The key items of evidence against Hines were confessions he gave city detectives. He raping the victim but denied killing her. "No, I did not kill Eileen, I pushed her. She hit 'her head.

She was crying and I raped her. I got and ran away. She was alive when I ran jaway," he told police. Defense attorney Paul Bogdon, who rested his case without presenting any evidence on behalf of iHines, insisted the government "had made no 'case" against his client. 1 He suggested there was no evidence to exclude jHines's contention to detectives that an alleged jconspirator who was cleared at the time of involvement had killed Miss Taylor or that a roving gang performed the killing.

But Assistant District Attorney James B. Lees Jr. scoffed at Bogdon's claims, singling out the defense lawyer's claim the case was a "tragedy" for both the victim and the defendant. Lees said that, even if the jury believed a coconspirator killed the victim, Hines was still guilty of first-degree murder because he admitted it was his idea to rape the victim after initially deciding to snatch her purse. Judge Rejects Bid For Retrial By MARY STOLBERG A federal judge has rejected a bid for a new trial from an Oakland woman who claimed she had been harmed because the jurist took nearly 113 months to decide her guilt.

In a lengthy opinion handed down this week, U.S. District Judge Louis Rosenberg justified the unusual delay and said it couldn't be used as a treason to retry Ruth Anderson.

Reg 14 99 12.99 I Mrs. Anderson, 63, of 4440 Centre Ave. was tconvicted of two counts of tax evasion in April I Evidence during a seven-day, non-jury trial in February 1981 showed she had embezzled more than $60,000 when she worked as a bookkeeper and hadn't reported it on her tax return, After Rosenberg announced his verdict, Mrs. Anderson's attorney asked him to either throw out the case or grant her a new trial. He based his request on several factors, including the delay and Mrs.

Anderson's claim she never understood she could have been tried by a jury instead of a judge. But Rosenberg said he found it hard to believe Mrs. Anderson spent seven days in court and didn't realize a jury wasn't there. 1 And he said he also found it difficult to believe she didn't understand her constitutional rights to a jury trial because she is "an intelligent and cultured woman who is alert and perceptive." Rosenberg also dismissed arguments about the delay. Although federal law dictates defendants must come to trial quickly after they are charged, Rosenberg said there is nothing that says the verdict must also come swiftly.

Rosenberg excused the passage of time by saying he had been working hard. In a footnote, he even cited statistics of the cases he had received and disposed of during the time Mrs. Anderson was waiting for a verdict. 20 More Face Court In Sports Betting Ring Press Harrisburg Bureau HARRISBURG Criminal charges have been filed against another 20 persons linked to an alleged sports betting ring operating in various parts of Pennsylvania.
