Lawmakers also gave final approval to a bill to change California's bail-bond system by placing it in the courts for minor offenses.

Brown. He will now have 12 days to decide whether to veto or let them become law without his signature. Some of the bills, however, passed with Brown's support or tacit approval. He and his legal affairs secretary, J. Anthony Kline, gave strong backing to bail reform.

After three days of intense lobbying against it by bail bondsmen, the bill won narrow approval in both houses, but with a major concession: The measure will die in five years, then the Legislature will decide whether to re-enact it. The courts, beginning Jan 1, 1981, will collect bail for people accused lof misdemeanors.

Cops' judgment questioned in youth's death Today story that Black pointed the gun at them, could not have seen Black clearly from their position in a car, according to the report.

It pointed out that in their testimony they gave different descriptions of the position of Black's arm. One officer said Black raised his arm straight from his side and leveled the gun at Thornberry, the report said, and the other officer said Black's arm was bent and he pulled the gun across his front to point it at the officers.
