While five witnesses agreed that
it was a Chevy, and three of the five
said it was a Caprice Classic four-
door sedan, two witnesses were
unsure of the model but said that it
was a grey color.
Brett DeGroff, second-year Law
student and Innocence Clinic stu-
dent attorney, said the two recent
developments -the "factual devel-
opment" of the newly-discovered
documents citing witnesses and
the likelihood that Wiley's testi-
mony from the first trial cannot be
used - are key to keeping Provi-
ence from being put back in jail.
Witness Jannie Halliburton
testified that she was behind the
shooters' grey vehicle and saw part
of the license plate number.
"I don't remember the letters,
but I remember 734," Halliburton
said in a police statement.
The Innocence Clinic obtained
documentation from the prosecu-

tion in December 2009 - filed on
April 26, 2002 - that lists cars
owned by Antrimone Mosley, one
of the Mosley brothers linked to
Hunter's murder and two other
murders unrelated to Provience's
case, according to police officer
progress notes.
The newly-obtained document
states that Mosley owned a 1985
four-door Chevy Caprice Classic
with the license plate 7CXM34
during the time of Hunter's mur-
der, and the Vehicle Identification
Number classifies the vehicle as
grey.
In November, Detroit police
officer William Ashford told pros-
ecutors that evidence points to the
Mosley family and not Provience.
Ashford's investigation revealed
the murders of Detroit residents
Courtney Irving and Maurice
"Bangy" Sutherland were linked
to Hunter's homicide in 2000 and
that all three had some connection
to the Mosley family.
Students in the Innocence
Clinic are arguing that the Mos-

leys killed Hunter because the
Mosleys suspected Hunter stole
their trailer full of marijuana. The
students allege the Mosleys mur-
dered Irving a month later because
Irving knew that the Mosleys shot
Hunter. Sutherland was murdered
a few months later when the Mos-
leys also suspected him of stealing
the trailer.
David Moran, co-director of the
Innocence Clinic at the University,
said the Innocence Clinic has filed
discovery motions to gain access
to Irving and Sutherland's homi-
cide files, but the prosecution has
yet to give the documents to the
students.
"We've asked for them, and
we've hit a stone wall," Moran
said.
Robyn Goldberg, second-year
Law student and Innocence Clinic
student attorney, said if the prose-
cution does not give the requested
documents to the Innocence Clin-
ic, the clinic will request that the
judge order them to do so during a
hearing scheduled for March 5.

ed to help intoxicated friends

Because of the MAP at Cor-
nell University, MSA's resolution
* said that there were significant
increases in the number of "alco-
hol-related calls for assistance to
emergency medical services."
t The resolution also stated
that "students were less likely to
report fear of getting an intoxi-
cated person in trouble as a bar-
rier to calling for help."
Jason Raymond, chair of the
External Relations Commit-
tee, said the Ann Arbor Police
Department is sometimes a deter-
rent for students who want to call
an ambulance for a friend but are
intimidated by the police.
TESTING .
From PageA 
University alum Rod Gailes OBC
worked with Littlejohn on the proj-
ect and the two decided to continue
their collaboration after seeing the
success of the event. Of those that
attended the event, 10 percent got
tested for HIV/AIDS on the spot,
according to Littlejohn.
OBC, a graduate of New York
University's film program, said he
was eager to sign on to extend the
project because it fits in with most
of his other art, which aims to pro-
mote social change.
"A big thing for me," OBC said,
"is being an artist for social change,
so my work ... needs to have that
kind of thrust."
Littlejohn said one of the reasons
hebelievesthecampaignissoimpor-
tant is that students don't appreciate
thevalue ingettingtested.
"People our age live (with) this
kind of carefree, I'm invincible
attitude," he said, "so they don't
really take the time to think about
the risks they're taking."
He added that getting tested
isn't going to change the results of
the test.
"Going to get the test isn't going
to make (the results) positive or
negative," he said.

"The Ann Arbor police con-
tinually tell us that they are not
trying to prey on students," Ray-
mond said. "The problem is that
perception exists. Students fear
the police."
According to MSA's resolution,
if House Bill 4867 is passed, the
Michigan Liquor Control Code
will be amended - ultimately
allowing minors to avoid receiv-
ing an MIP if they call 911.
Raymond, a Business School
junior, said the bill is not a way
for students to beat the criminal
justice system. Instead, he said
the act would benefit the lives of
University students.
"It is something that a lot of
students care about," Raymond
said. "The bill isn't a get-out-of-
jail-free card for students that
like to have fun. It's more of a

safety measure."
Raymond said collaboration
with MSU's student government
helped get massive support from
the Michigan House of Represen-
tatives. He said lobbying efforts
toward state Senate approval
might be slow because MSA's
relationship with the Michigan
Senate Committee on Judiciary
is just beginning.
Steven Zuckerman, chair of
MSA's Students Rights Commis-
sion, said the passing of the act
will reiterate a "good Samaritan
policy."
"It's about being a good citi-
zen, a good friend," Zucker-
man said. "That legally you are
not going to be reprimanded for
being intoxicated when the more
pressing issue is that your friend
might not be okay."

must stay afloat for two days in

Despite the barrier's spotty
success with Asian carp, Diana
said the carp would still have
trouble surviving in a lake envi-
ronment.
"I think the common percep-
tion thatthe carp will be as abun-
dant in the Great Lakes as they
are in the Mississippi River sys-
tem is really not realistic," Diana
said. "There's just not enough
food for them out there in the

shallow rivers."
Given this fact, Gaden said
achieving biological separation
- a permanent solution separat-
ing the waterways - is now a
higher priority than temporary
measures like electric barriers
and large scale poisonings called
"fish kills."
"It's a porous system, so we're
talking about a lot of side canals
and confluences where fish can
get in during flooding," Gaden
said. "So now we need to get

Though Dira said he didn't
think the University would con-
duct research on the subject right
now, he said if the problem con-
tinues to grow people might look
to the University for help.
"If there were a really strong
research question, I could see
that happening, but currently it's
not well-defined enough," Diana
said.


OBC agreed, saying that stu-
dents won't be able to deal with
their status without knowing what
it is. f.
"Knowing your tatus isn't
going change your status," he said.
It's going to make you powerful in
dealing with it."
Through the P2 Initiative, Lit-
tlejohn and OBC said they want to
help students realize that getting
tested for HIV is important not
only for health reasons, but also for
the empowerment that comes with
"knowing your status."
Every week through April 13,
the P2 Initiative will release a new
image portraying confident Uni-
versity students engaged in every-
day activities like a late-night study
date. The images will feature infor-
mation about free and anonymous
HIV testing available every Tues-
day from 6 to 7 p.m. in the MESA
office in the Michigan Union.
LittlejohnandOBCsaidtheywant-
ed each of the 10 campaign images
to tell a story, and they recruited a
diverse group of University students
as models so all students would find
the stories relatable.
OBC shot the photographs dur-
ing a weeklong stay in Michigan in
November. He said he designed the
images with the aim that the mod-
els would exude confidence.
OBC added that he wants the

images to function like advertise-
ments for HIV/AIDS testing and to
make students feel like they"want to
buy what (the images are) selling."
In addition to encouraging stu-
dents to get tested, the P2 Initiative
offers a different type of testing
than what is normally available at
UHS. While the results could nor-
mally take up to two weeks, stu-
dents who get tested at MESA will
only have to wait 20 minutes to be
informed of the results of the test.
Littlejohn said the system in
place at UHS, which involved going
to get tested and then returning to
get results, can often be discourag-
ing for students.
"They get the nerve to go the
first time," he said. "But then they
have to get the nerve again to call
back or go back."
Before the P2 Initiative, Little-
john said, Detroit was the clos-
est place where rapid testing was
available. He added that getting
funding to bring it to the Universi-
ty was difficult because Ann Arbor
was not a "high risk" area, but the
P2 Initiative eventually got the
funding through the Washtenaw
County Health Department.
The first testing session took
place on Feb. 2 - the same day as the
release of the first image of the cam-
paign. Four people got tested in that
first hour, according to Littlejohn.

RECYCLING
From Page 1A
markets will begin accepting a
wider variety of materials, which
means that people living in Ann
Arbor will be able torecycle more.
In addition to changing the
recycling system, the partnership
also focuses on educating students
and residents about recycling
guidelines.
With a national increase in the
recycling initiative, Pyle said she is
hopeful students will take the time
to learn about recycling guidelines
and recycle more.
As part of the effort, Pyle has vis-
ited Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority and

will soon be speaking to Lambda
Chi Alpha fraternity. She said the
program is focused on promot-
ing recycling in off-campus hous-
ing locations, because recycling is
already readily accessible for stu-
dents living in residence halls.
Students living off-campus in
houses, apartments, co-ops or
Greek houses often have to go out
of their way to recycle, Pyle said.
Therefore, many students choose
to just throw away their waste
into the trash, when in fact, a large
majority of their products can be
recycled, Pyle said.
"Ihave been arecycling advocate
since I was a little kid. My family
always supported recycling," Pyle
said. "When houses off-campus

request services, I tell them why it
is important to recycle and why we
care about recycling."
Any student living in off-cam-
pus housing can request recycling
bins, according to Pyle. Michigan
Students Advocating Recycling, a
student organization on campus, is
allowing students to pick up recy-
cling bins at certain locations.
Pyle said it is important to make
sure recycled items end up in the
right place, which is one of the rea-
sons why educating students and
residents is so important.
"We want to make sure our col-
lected recyclables have an end use,"
Pyle said. "We do not want the
products to be shipped overseas
and be burned to produce fuel."
