2 JOHNSON CITY PRESS CHRONICLE, Thursday Evening, January 28, 1982 Judge denies The weather new trial to kidnapper Today By Linda Sanders -C Bureau A motion for a new trial was denied Wednesday in Criminal Court to a Johnson City man "serving a life sentence for aggravated kidnapping. Judge Arden Hill denied the seven-point motion filed by Bobby Lynn Crum, 30, who was convicted in December of the Feb. 18, 1980, kidnapping of a Greene County woman. The woman said Crum forced her at gunpoint to go with him to Roan Mountain, where he raped her twice. She testified that she did not see the weapon, but said Crum told her he had a gun.

Crum pleaded insanity in case, but a psychologist at the Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute said Crum had been declared competent to stand trial. Testimony indicated Crum suffers from "anti-social behavior." In the motion for a new trial, Crum maintains that during the December trial, he was under the influence of prescribed antipsychotic and tranquilizing drugs, which prevented him from assisting his attorney, Victor Vaughn, in defending his case. He also said he was unable to comprehend the nature or seriousness of the charges against him. and was unaware of the maximum sentence he could receive if found guilty of the charges. During the motion hearing, Crum said he had been taking the drugs four times a day during that period in December and "felt like I wanted to sleep." He also, said he "couldn't make out what was Crum said Wednesday he had not taken any medication Wednesday morning.

In denying the motion, Hill said. "I don't see any difference in the way he (Crum) is acting todav than at the trial." The motion also alleged: That the verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence. That the jury failed to give full and complete consideration to all of the evidence introduced and that the verdict was motivated by passion, caprice, or prejudice. And that there should have been a directed verdict of acquittal because it was established that Crum was suffering from mental illness. Following the motion, Crum asked that he be allowed to have the same rights as other prisoners.

including the right to have writing materials, religious materials, that he not be compelled to take drugs, and that he be placed in a one-man cell due to his past history of mental illness when taken to prison. Hill said he could not grant the motion, because he did not have authority over prison rules and regulations. Crum's case will be appealed, Vaughn said. In a related case. Crum pleaded no contest to a charge of automobile larceny and was sentenced to serve three years.

The sentence 15 to run concurrently with the life sentence. In other court action, a firstdegree burglary case against David Tester was placed on the retired docket. Since he agreed to having the case placed on the retired docket, Tester waived his right to a -Deedy trial; the case can be reactivated if Tester has further problems with law enforcement agencles.

Carter County man sentenced to 15 years for armed robbery By Teri Hill -C Jonesboro Bureau Security was tight in Criminal Court in Jonesboro Wednesday night as a Carter County man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for armed robbery. Eddie Dean Dickson, 20, Meadow Brook Trailer Park, was found guilty of the April 23 armed robbery of the Mountaineer Package Store in Johnson City.

After he got the money, Miss "Ellis said, he ran out the door and along Elm Street. Yancey Fernandez, a driver for Diamond Cab, testified that he received a call to pick up a man at the Jiffy Market, Myrtle and Elm streets, two blocks from the package store.

When asked about the red bandana, Fernandez testified that he didn't know anything about it until the preliminary hearing.

He told the court that he went back to the cab company and got a red bandana that had been found in his cab by another driver who drove his cab. Because testimony from Fernandez about the other driver's finding the bandana under the seat of Fernandez's cab was ruled hearsay, a last minute effort was started to find the other driver. The effort proved futile, and testimony continued. Karen McKay, who lived in the previously-mentioned trailer park at the time of the robbery, testified that Dickson had come to her trailer around 11:30 that night, looking for her boyfriend, and while he was there, told her he had robbed a store. Robin Green, who also lived at the trailer park at the time, told the court that sometime after the robbery, some detectives drove into the park.

She said she was talking to Dickson and his wife that night and told them there were police outside and Dickson "jumped up and said not to tell the police that he was there." Ms. Green said he then ran from the trailer. Dickson took the witness stand and told the court that he had not robbed the store. He testified that he had been waiting for his grandmother's return at her house in Asbury until at about 9:30 when he left the house walking. He said he left go to Hills' Department Store to catch a ride with Miss McKay.

Dickson testified that he drank about three beers, while he was waiting. He said he started walking home at about 10:15 and got a ride to the Jiffy Market on Elm Street, where he decided to call a cab. After he got into the cab, he said, the driver asked him if he smoked pot and asked him if he wanted some. Dickson said the two smoked five joints, two of which were his and laced with angel dust. He testified that the reason he ran from the trailer when the detectives arrived had nothing to do with the robbery.

Dickson said that Dickover had tried to shoot him, testifying that he was at a cousin's house when Dickover ran up to him, pointed a gun in his face and said, "Run now!" Dickover testified that he had not tried to shoot him and said he aimed the gun at him because Dickson had run from them for 80 long and that he might still have the gun he allegedly used in the robbery. ATTENTION SKIERS Ski Wear and Equipment to OFF Ski Haut Protons STEWART FUNERAL HOME Butts Gap told the court that Dickson asked him if he had ever heard of the "Phantom Burglar."
