31,1994 House OKs Stricter Sentencing Bii INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Democrats Republicans gave strong support to a measure that would make the most violent of criminals serve longer prison sentences. The Indiana House of Representatives passed the measure Monday on an 89-8 vote. House Republicans described the bill as a "truth in sentencing" measure that is part their "Contract With The measure is in response to confusion over criminal sentencing, which permits Indiana inmates to cut their time served in half by following prison rules. Convicted murderers would be required to serve their full sentences, with no time off for good behavior. Other violent offenders, including rapists, would be required to serve at least 85 percent of their sentences.

"We will not tolerate violent crime in Indiana," said Rep. Ralph D. Ayres, R- Chesterton. Rep. Thomas J.

Alevizos, D-Michigan City, voted yes even after objecting that eliminating time off would end inmates' incentives to behave and would endanger prison guards. Republicans refused to consider a Democratic alternative, proposed by Alevizos, that would have imposed stricter sentencing guidelines on all convicted felons. Democrats used the opportunity for some lighthearted ridicule of the GOP'con- tract, a campaign platform similar in spirit to the Republican congressional "Contract with America," promising House votes on issues such as welfare and spending.

Continued From Page A1 Kathy, who works at Kroeger Funeral Home, said she may start paying attention! again, now that it's getting down to the! nitty-gritty. Jim, who works at Bakeij Specialty, said he has kept up with the story a little through the newspaper.

"You can't avoid it on TV and radio," Kathy said. Indeed, Polly Christenson, who also was- eating at Boardwalk, said she has been interested in the case since it began, and television is how she chooses to keep up with it. i "I'm a CNN freak," she said, huf because she works at Roeing she will be able to watch only the recaps the trial on CNN Headline News. 5 The issue of domestic abuse has held; Christenson's attention. She wonders how the situation continued to the point of mur-t der, and how Nicole Brown Simpson could! have been protected.

Simpson's celebrity status is what kept people so focused on his fate. "If it had been anyone else, no one would have followed it. Because he's an athlete and a movie star, people followed it," she said. "People are nosey, I guess you could say." Christenson and several others think Simpson is guilty. She points to the blood found in the Bronco, the tape of a frantic Nicole Simpson's call to police, and other evidence in the case.

"I feel he's guilty," agreed Kent on break from Partridge's Home Furnishings at Hap's East. "He wouldnlt have left the house if he didn't feel he was guilty. And he never once said he didn't do it." While Nelson Group employee Michael Evernham said he has paid some attention to the case, his wife, Michelle, who works at Salin Bank, said she just doesn't care. Taking a break from lunch at Hap's, Michelle said she thinks the whole thing is a waste of time and taxpayers' money. "If he did it, he goes to jail," she "It's not going to affect my life-style any.

Fortunately, I don't live in California, so I don't have to pay the taxes." i QVan Agenda Today The ROCHESTER COMMON COUNCIL will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
