all-white jury found Carter guilty,
b ed on "eyewitne "accounts.
There w no physical evidence or
motive presented at trial to link
Carter with the crime. .
Mafrice said ifit turns out that the
jury was stacked to exclude Blacks,
a new trial would be in order.

to support the investigation would
bring "repercu ions" on the
commission. He did not explain.
Yarbrough works for Berrien
County as a youth officer.
Commissioner Jame Turner
reminded the commis ion of Dr.
Martin Luther King's dmonition
that long one man suffers an
injustice, we all suffer.
The questions surrounding
Carter's guilt have been raised since
he was arrested in 1976.
His arrest was made based on
perjured testimony of a convicted
drug dealer in exchange for $500 and
a bu ticket out of town. The
informant retracted the lie, and
erved two years of a 16 year
sentence for perjury as a result.
Carter was photographed by the
Herald Palladium, the daily
newspaper, before a line up was held.
The picture was published the
. following day, before the line up was
held, and Schadler, who said at the'
time of the shooting he could not
recognize his assailant, after reading
the paper, could pick Carter out of a
line up.
C WHO 1 six foot one,
did not match the description given
by witne on the day of the crime.
They said the five foot eight inch
assailant was darker, fatter and with
different features than those of
Carter.
Carter's court-appointed attorney
failed to file a motion of discovery
and thus was unaware of all the
differences in the testimony of
witnesses on the day of the crime and
in their testimony at trial.
Carter's plight was the subject of
a one-hour special on CNN in 1984.

explained that the Committee was
close to a decision on what action to

One option open to the
