Fans turn out for Kato TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) Far from the courtroom but still in the spotlight, Kato Kaelin was greeted by thousands of fans Saturday during his first appearance to sign autographs and pose for pictures. An estimated 5,000 admirers turned out at the Honey Creek Mall 'to see Kaelin, who finished testifying in the O.J. Simpson this past week. Mother accused in teen's death PORT ORANGE, Fla.

(AP) Cerebral palsy took part of Annie Marshall's sight and hearing, and led to retardation and other disorders. Yet it was her mother, authorities said, who killed the 14-year-old by confining and starving her for three months. The mother, 30-year-old Kathryn Joan Allen, was arrested Friday while driving back from Annie's funeral. She was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse, and was being held without bail. Annie died at home March 22 curled in a fetal position.

She had been kept in her room since before Christmas, too weak to get off a floor mat, police Sgt. Frank Surma- czewicz said. She was 4-foot-8, yet weighed just 28 pounds when she died, according to an autopsy report. Medical records show she weighed 55 pounds in November. Investigators said Allen entered Annie's room around 7 a.m.

on March 22 in the home she shares with her boyfriend, Lawrence Doyle Kuzmovich. Annie did not wave as she usually did when she woke up; she was not breathing. Before calling police, Allen took Annie's two younger sisters, ages 5 and 4, to the kitchen and the family had breakfast, police said. Kuzmovich then took the two girls for a ride, dropping one off at school while Allen stayed home with her 1-year-old son. At about 8 a.m., Kuzmovich returned and called police, telling a dispatcher: "We woke up this morning and found my girlfriend's daughter dead in bed.

Who should we call about this?" He added: "We found her, say around 7, but we went ahead and got the other daughter ready for school. We thought that would be better." Police refused to say if Kuzmovich is a suspect. The other children were placed in foster homes.
