BOTH WOMEN retained Ann
Arbor lawyer Thomas O'Brien
to represent them. Throughout
the next two years, the women
would both entrust the young,
boyish attorney with their con-
fidence-and their lives.
On June 19, 1976, Narcisco and
Perez were indicted and charg-
ed with ten counts of poisoning,
five counts of murder, and a
count of conspiracy.!
FOLLOWING a -tedious and
meticulous jury-selection pro-
cess, the trial began March 28.
By this time, trial Judge Philip
Pratt had reduced the 151
charges in the indictment to 12,
but, more importantly, evidence
revealed VA hospital nursing
supervisor Betty Jakiin had con-s
fessed to the poisonings before
committing .suicide a monthf
earlier.
THROUGHOUT t h e lengthy
trial, the prosecution never pre-
sented a motive for the poison-
ings, leading to speculation that
the charges had been a frame-
up of two innocent women.,
Those who cried frame-up'

Nearly a dozen women became the vie-
times when a series of rapes and assaults
swept the city last fall. But'thousands of
other local women were victimized as
well as an atmosphere of tension and un-
easiness clouded the campus area.
"No one would go out anywhere at
night unless they were accompanied by
someone," recalled one junior "(The as-
saults) made it less likely they'd go to,
the library unless they had a bunch of
friends to go with them. Nobody likes to
be restricted for reasons like that."
Julie Bertelson, who lives a block away
from where two rapes occurred, agreed.1
"Not that I did go out by mystelf (be-

did have the opportunity to. I had that
freedom. taken away."
Bertelson no'ed that male students be-
came very concerned with the danger
facing local women.
"The male friends we had became
very protective of us," she said. "They
didn't let us go out by ourselves to the
library or to work. We were very care-
ful, 'more aware.of the sit4ation than we
had been.
Police believe that ,one man was res-t
ponsible for the series of attacks. Al-
though they have a suspect, they have

and provide more equitable dis-

across the board, Rhodes pre-
dicted an "unusually tough year
for the University" fiscally. The
University must embark on' an
enforced savings program in the
amount of $1,150,396 in order to
balance the budget.

)f which were filled out incor-
re -tlv and others which weren't
sealed. One married couple
placed their absentee ballots in
each others' envelopes.
Mos observers agreed t h a t
Belcher's suit would not be suc-
cessful. Then v series of revela-
tions from City Administrator
Svlvester Murray's office left
the results of the election even
more uncertain.
In June, Murray's office turn-
ed up several irregularities in
voting procedure.
THE REPORT said "the in-
vestigation exposed a number of
instances of a lack of adequate
procedure being followed, inade-
quate record keeping, and t h e
need for additional training by
fhe City Clerk's office staff, pre-
cinct workers, and political par-
ty challengers at the polls."
Then, in July, Murray a n -
nounced that a check of regis-
tered voters in Ann Arbor show-
ed that 173 township residents
were illegally registered to vote
in the April election, and over
20 actually cas': ballots. The re-
prt said the persons reside in
township islands and peninsulas
- areas surrounded by city pro-
perty but not a part of the city.
It was uncertain who would
defend Wheeler in court. The
mayor, who spent thousands of
dollars in a legal hassle over
the 1974 election results, asked
that city Attorney Bruce Laid-
la~ defend him, since Wheeler
had been officially proclaimed
t'ho winner in the election by the
WAashtenaw County Board of
Canvassers.
