...masqueraded as a corrupt banker in the Government scam that snared Auto Magnate John Zachary De Lorean, currently on trial in Los Angeles for conspiring to distribute $24 million worth of cocaine to save his failing sports-car company. Weitzman questioned Tisa about the log he kept of the four-month investigation that culminated in De Lorean's arrest in October 1982. Some of the entries in the 28-page handwritten document were dated 1983. "I may have rewritten some of the entries in 1983," the agent explained. "And you destroyed the original?" Weitzman asked. "Yes," replied Tisa...
...four-month trial was the first major case conducted under an international treaty that sets civil liability for oil-pollution damage. Forty nations signed the agreement after the 1967 Torrey Canyon oil spill off the British coast. Under the treaty, Amoco would have had to pay no more than $17 million. But Judge McGarr ruled that a ship owner can be liable for a much higher amount if negligence is involved. The actual level of Amoco's damages will be determined at a separate hearing that will begin on May 31, but the company's lawyers optimistically believe...

After a four-month, $320,000 probe into the extent of hunger in the U.S., the 13-member President's Task Force on Food Assistance produced a report last week that wound up by saying, "We have not been able to substantiate allegations of rampant hunger." Though the study acknowledged that some were going hungry, it insisted there was no way to determine who and how many...
...current Goshen trial, Gribetz has also been meticulous. He introduced 84 witnesses and 540 pieces of evidence in the process of building a case against Defendants Judith Clark, 33, David Gilbert, 39, and Kuwasi Balagoon, 36. In federal court, the four-month trial of the six defendants involved more than 100 witnesses. To be sure, the presentation of both cases was made easier by the refusal of some defendants to offer a standard defense. The three Goshen suspects early on pronounced the trial "illegitimate," because they consider themselves to be "freedom fighters" and "prisoners of war." They declined...
