PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1 8, 2004 A-19 LOCAL NEWS Inquest to explore whether fatal car crash was homicide Local religious leaders close ranks over debut of Gibson's 'Passion' film By Joe Fahy Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Religious leaders in Pittsburgh have expressed concerns about "The Passion of the Christ," a new movie by filmmaker Mel Gibson that some fear could spark anti-Semitism. More than a week before the movie's of friendship that bless Christians and Jews," the statement said. Rabbi David Greenspoon, vice chairman of the rabbinic association, acknowledged that viewers cannot be sure what scenes the movie contains, though trailers have been available on the Internet and in theaters. But religious lead- ers agreed that it was important to issue a statement in advance, he said, to ensure that "whatever good works that have been done don't get undone." The Rev. Ron Leng- Criticism of the movie has focused on concerns that it could fuel anti-Jewish sentiments.

release, local Jewish and Christian leaders issued a joint statement yesterday reaffirming their commitment to respectful relations. "The Greater Pittsburgh area is a role model of positive inter- fort to resolve the women's differences, Upshur threatened Brown, the affidavit said. In a petition May 10 for an emergency protection-from-abuse order that was eventually rejected, Brown wrote: "Have been receiving harassing calls since 1-23-03 and threats over the phone and has been stalking me. She knows my every move I make when I leave my home. She keeps saying I gonna end up a gun shot victim to death." Timira Brown's mother.

Beverly Brown, of Columbus. Ohio, declined last night to talk about the investigation. But Beverly Brown expressed her appreciation for the work investigators have done on the case. "I want to thank police and everyone involved for making an arrest," said Brown. "I don't care how long it would have taken.

I want her Jamie Upshur prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. "There are a lot of people messed up behind this. I feel bad for her family but I want justice for myself, my daughter, my grandson, and my daughter's three surviving children." Staff writer Nate Guidry contributed to this report. Jonathan D. Silver can be reached at jsilverupostgazette.com or instances in which Upshur reportedly threatened Brown's life.

But it did not say why homicide detectives believe Upshur meant to kill Brown along Route 28 on Aug. 10. Police have accused Upshur of ramming her car into Brown's as both drove south on Route 28 between the 31st Street Bridge and the DelMonte Heinz plant. Both cars went out of control and crossed the center line, smashing into two northbound vehicles. Police said Upshur was driving 69 mph in a 35-mph zone.

Brown and her son were the only fatalities. The three other drivers and three passengers were all injured, some seriously. Willa Tot, 70, who drove one of the northbound cars, is still receiving orthopedic care and physical therapy, according to police. Chaka Hall, 33, another of the northbound drivers, suffered a lacerated liver, concussion, crushed heel and fractured femur. In the affidavit, police detailed a six-month feud between the women over a man, Wayne Williams, who at the time was in the Allegheny County Jail on drug charges.

Williams and other witnesses who were not identified in the affidavit told police that Upshur threatened Brown and her family in a series of phone calls. During a three-way conversation with Brown and Upshur initiated by Williams from the jail in an ef By Jonathan D. Silver Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A day after Pittsburgh police charged Jamie Upshur with using her car as a deadly weapon to kill a romantic rival and her son last year, the Allegheny County coroner's office said it will hold an open inquest to determine whether the victims' deaths were indeed homicides. The official manner of death for Timira Brown, who was 25, and her 4-year-old son, Taymon, is listed as "pending investigation." The coroner's office determines whether deaths are classified as homicide, suicide, accident, from natural causes or undetermined. "We will be conducting an inquest to establish what the correct manner of death is," Chief Deputy Coroner Joseph Dominick said yesterday.

No date was announced. Following the inquest, during which witnesses may be subpoenaed to provide testimony, the coroner will determine whether anyone is criminally responsible for the deaths of Brown and her son The district attorney's office has already decided who it believes is responsible. Upshur, 23, of East Liberty, was arrested Monday and faces a preliminary hearing Feb. 26 on numerous charges, including criminal homicide, homicide by vehicle and aggravated assault. A police affidavit cited several win, spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, said he received the statement Friday from the rabbinic association and circulated it among local Christian leaders, both Catholic and non-Catholic.

All who were asked agreed to sign, he said. Nationally, criticism of the movie has focused on concerns that it places the blame for Christ's crucifixion on Jews, which could be used as an excuse for anti-Jewish sentiments.

The statement notes that many are concerned that Gibson's new movie "will undo decades of interfaith dialogue" and that some fear that it "will ignite anti-Semitism." "While we acknowledge that there may be some bigots who will try to seize on any opportunity to spread their maliciousness, it is our heartfelt belief that no movie can unravel the ever strengthening bonds CLASSIFIED OBITUARIES Wednesday at the THOMAS P.
