The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, by a 2-1 vote, ruled that the attorney for James Earl Slaughter, 43, did not have an obligation to research his family history.
Slaughter was condemned to death for the January 1983 murder of Esther Stewart, who owned Clothes consignment store in Louisville. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Coffman ruled in 2001 that Slaughter should get a new sentencing hearing because his trial attorney, Ferdinand Radolovich, failed to find and interview many of family members or have them testify at trial. Appeals judges Danny Boggs and Alice Batchelder found performance but not so bad that it unfairly affected the decision. In a dissent, Judge R.
Guy Cole said there was a that Slaughter would have been sentenced to life in prison if Radolovich had done a better job during sentencing. is clearly a reasonable probability that the jury would have sentenced Slaughter to life imprisonment had it been presented with the evidence that was presented (on Cole wrote. Coffman found that Radolovich had no experience with death penalty cases and was later indicted for perjury for testifying that he had handled several cases in New York. The status of the perjury case against Radolovich was not immediately available Tuesday. In granting Slaughter a hearing, Coffman ruled that failure to thoroughly investigate background and find family members to testify gave a one-sided picture of the inmate to jurors.
saw James Earl Slaughter, in many senses, the man who never was, standing alone and defiant. Slaughter was a man (who) testified recklessly; a man who apparently was so unloved and so uncared for that not a single individual, relative or friend would vouch for him, though his life hung in the Coffman wrote. attorneys, Kathleen Schmidt of Shepherdsville and assistant public defender Marguerite Thomas of Frankfort, did not immediately return phone calls Tuesday. Death Row inmate denied new hearing LEXINGTON (AP) The University of Board of Trustees gave final approval Tuesday to a 12 percent tuition increase in a budget that adds 27 faculty positions. President Lee Todd had argued the school needed to raise tuition to put the school in position to become a top-20 public research institution.
The 12 percent tuition hike for the 2006-07 academic year was first announced in March. The $1.84 billion budget provides $3 million to add the equivalent of 27 faculty positions. By 2020, it is expected to add about 625 positions. It also boosts student scholarships by $2.7 million and funds $754 million in capital improvement projects, including money for a new complex and an expansion of the UK Chandler Hospital. The Board of Trustees also signed off on a plan to give faculty a higher pay raise than staff a move resisted by many staff members.
Todd said it is necessary to catch up with other schools in the top 20. Under contract, the board gave him a $115,000 job performance bonus 92 percent of the maximum $125,000 he could have received based on bonus goals.

The city Council voted 5-1 Monday night to prohibit smoking in workplaces, restaurants or bars. It takes effect Aug.
1. Only Lexington and Georgetown have passed bans as far- reaching. Louisville city officials passed a smoking ban last year, but it exempts bars and some other businesses. Morehead council member Al Baldwin voted in favor of the ban, but said he still had concerns. bottom line is that the right thing to said Baldwin, who is a smoker.
reservations are about the government having to dictate personal responsibility and personal Council member Bruce Atkins cast the lone opposition vote. He said he thinks the policy steps on the rights of smokers. Morehead approves public smoking ban Coal-fired power plant receives final state approval.
