"The only thing we're here to do is figure out what was going on in Danny Betournay's head on Dec. 14." But Walla Walla Prosecutor Jim Nagle said Betournay was a normal child before the slayings.

"The evidence will show that prior to Dec. 14, Daniel Betournay went to school every day, participated in activities with friends and family, was a Boy Scout, built model rockets, dressed himself, fed himself, walked and talked normally and did everything an every-day, normal person his age did," Nagle said. WALLA WALLA (AP) A College Place teen-ager accused of suffocating his sister and her best friend by putting plastic bags over their heads was incapable of premeditating the slayings, his defense lawyer says. Daniel Betournay, 15, suffers from a mental illness known as schizoaffective disorder, which is characterized by delusions, major depression and a lack of emotion, attorney William McCool said Monday in his opening statement "What goes on inside of Danny's mind even now, and what went on inside of Danny's head on Dec. 14, is not logical, does not truly consider the consequences," McCool said.

She was among 23 women who alleged Packwood had made unwanted sexual advances between 1969 and 1990. The former intern told the Post that she occasionally drove Packwood to work from the Bethesda, neighborhood where she lived with her parents and where Packwood lived with his wife.

Theresa Leigh Scott, 40, of Eagle Creek had to be wrestled out of her car before she was arrested late Sunday night.

Scott, who was jailed two weeks ago for trying to escape police who were chasing her car, was treated for minor injuries at Legacy Emanuel Hospital and released to Clackamas County sheriffs deputies. Sheriffs spokesman Damon Coates said Scott being held without bail pending arraignment on charges of driving while revoked, driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving and attempting to elude police.

Wapato is 2nd Yakima Valley town to adopt daytime curfew WAPATO, Wash.

This town has become the second Yakima Valley community to respond to youth crime with a daytime, school-year curfew for juveniles. The City Council on Monday night unanimously approved a measure modeled after one passed in March in neighboring Toppenish. The ordinances, believed to be the first of their kind in the state, make it illegal for school-age children younger than 18 to be in a public place during school hours. The ordinance takes effect with the start of the school year. Offenders will be escorted home by police, and parents will face fines of up to $300.

"I think it's a crying shame we have to have something like this," Councilman Ray Judd said. "It hurts me this has to be done. But kids run loose everywhere. They stand in the street and damn near dare you to run them over and then when you pass, they flip you off." The curfew will not affect youths under 18 who have graduated from high school or who have a general educational development diploma. Exceptions also will be granted to children who are home-schooled or have permission from school officials or parents to be in public.

O'Grady, the F-16 pilot shot down over Bosnia two months ago, said he plans to leave active duty this fall and transfer to the Air Force Reserve.
