Kerr agreed that discipline was due, but hesitated. Since last December's student uprising, it has become customary at Cal to let civil courts handle students involved in violations of the law.

Thirteen shotgun pellets tore into Malcolm's chest and heart; several slugs from .45-and .38-cal. pistols shattered his thighs and legs.
