LEXINGTON (AP) After a former migrant worker wrote letters to a Mexico City newspaper about facing the death penalty in a North Carolina murder case, government decided to help with his appeal. Bernardino Zuniga, 33, was convicted in February 1985 in the slaying and sexual assault of 7-year-old April Sweet. She was found stabbed in the neck July 13, 1982, on her family's tobacco farm in Alexander Zuniga was arrested that night in Tennessee, carrying a photograph of the dead girl. Mexican Embassy officials say Zuniga might be the only Mexican citizen sentenced to death in the United States. A spokesman for the embassy said there is no death penalty in Mexico.
In July 1987, the N.C. Supreme Court upheld Zuniga's conviction and sentencing, and in November 1987 the U.S. Supreme Court denied a motion to hear his case. The second stage of his appeal process opened Monday in Davidson Superior Court. Zuniga's new attorneys say his original trial attorneys did not adequately represent him.
They are asking Judge W. Douglas Albright to grant him a new trial. SERVICE NOT GOLDEN Forlns Duck 1118 N. Elm St. 275-8408 5926 W.
Friendly Ave. 299-9171 119 N. Market Madison 548-9606 Greensboro News Record, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 1988 Democrats hunt for a whipping boy By SETH EFFRON Raleigh Bureau Sanford local Democratic leaders met with him for some plain and frank talk. Hubert Seymour, a Greensboro lawyer, said divisive primary contests such as the bitter lieutenant governor's race between Tony Rand and Harold Hardison, leave wounds that don't heal by the general election.
"We've got to save the knives and shotguns for them other folks," he said. Seymour's wife, state Sen. Mary Seymour, lost a re-election bid. Seymour stressed he spoke for himself, not her. He said Republicans have exploited racial and religious differences to hurt Democrats.
"We have let the blacks scare the crackers out of the Democratic Party," he said. "We had a preacher in High Point who circulated a pamphlet saying you can't be a Christian and be a Democrat. "We've got to stop that sort of thing. We can't be nice and polite to these damn people. We've got to haul off and tell 'em what it's really all about." Doug Copeland, the party's 6th Congressional District chairman, complained that Democrats have allowed Republicans to paint Democrats as unpatriotic and ineffective.
"We've let the Republican Party steal our flag, our thunder and our successes," he said. Copeland also offered his ideas on the main topic of Sanford's agenda: North Carolina Democrats aren't sulking quietly because of setbacks in last month's election. Complaints, soul-searching, finger-pointing and even constructive criticism prevailed Tuesday as U.S. Sen. Terry Sanford the state's highest ranking Democrat came to the Airport Hilton in Greensboro for the third of eight meetings to discuss the party's future.
Thirty-five Sanford What the party should look for in selecting a new state chairman and executive director. Copeland said the party's new executive director should be a professional manager with experience in marketing. The state Democratic Party Executive Committee will chose a new chairman and other officers mid-January. There was general praise for current state party Chairman Jim Van Hecke of Greensboro, who is stepping aside as chairman after serving for nearly three years. Executive Director Ken Eudy, who has served for the last two years, has also announced he'll be stepping down in January.
Van Hecke has named a special committee, headed by former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt, to come up with a proposed slate of new party officers. Musette Steck, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for the Guilford County commission, said as much as the party should be concerned with attracting new, young voters, it also needs to concentrate on keeping the "old Democrats." She also complained that the party has failed to give women and minorities a prominent role in party affairs. "Not to have one woman or black on our entire state ticket you can't tell me there's no one good enough," she said. Guilford County Commissioner Dot Kearns said Democrats need to focus on local political battles even non-partisan races for city offices to find qualified and wellknown Democrats to run and win. Sanford distributed questionnaires to those gathered for thoughts and suggestions on people and duties for the party chairman and executive director, as well as for ideas on what the party should to do to win in 1990 and 1992.
"We need to pick up, dust ourselves off, and start taking this state where it ought to be," Sanford said. Sanford will lead another Democratic meeting Saturday in Winston-Salem. Two former policemen are cleared on charges ASHEBORO Charges of breaking and entering against two former Greensboro police officers were dismissed Tuesday in Randolph District Court. Billy Edwards, a Jamestown attorney and former Greensboro police officer, was charged in March with misdemeanor breaking and entering and larceny after he took a car for a woman client embroiled in a heated divorce proceeding. Charged with him was Ed Cobbler, a private investigator and a former colleague of Edwards' at the Greensboro Police Department.
The charges were filed by Richard Tate, a lawyer representing the woman's ex-husband, Mickey Causey. "This is just a nightmare of a case," Edwards said after the charges were dismissed. In March, Edwards and Cobbler broke into the garage of Mickey Causey, a grader and dump truck operator, and took the 1982 Camaro inside on behalf of their client, Beverly Causey King, who owns the car, Edwards said. Before the couple was divorced in 1986, a Guilford County judge had conferred possession of the car to King, according to testimony in the case. But someone stole the car from King in 1986 and Cobbler discovered it in Causey's garage two years later.
When Edwards and Cobbler went to Causey's Randolph County garage in March to take the car, three sheriff's officers were looking on. Before he went to the garage, Edwards had called the Sheriff's Department and said he had found a stolen car that belonged to Beverly Causey, Lt. Fred Rutledge testified. Because the Sheriff's Department wasn't sure whether the case was a criminal or a civil matter, the By LIBBY LEWIS Staff Writer department covered the bases: They sent a criminal officer and two civil officers, Rutledge said in an interview after the hearing. Once the officers got there, however, they that learned the car was inside a locked garage and that Edwards had no search warrant.
What Edwards did have were civil papers dated a year before that gave Barbara Causey King the rights to the car, Rutledge testified. Edwards refused to get a search warrant, Rutledge said. "At that point, we told them we didn't want to have anything to do with it," Rutledge testified. But he said the officers stayed at the scene to witness what happened. Causey's brother, Ronnie Causey, testified that he helped Edwards and Cobbler get into the garage after Edwards in the presence of three sheriff's officers asked for his help and convinced him he was doing the right thing.
Edwards and Cobbler had been there earlier in the day, Causey testified. "When they! seen me, they left the scene," Causey said. "I was going to call the law. But then they came back with the law. So that confused me as to what was going on." The sheriff's officers were confused, too.
They didn't know what civil papers gave what to whom so they didn't know whether anyone was breaking the law, Rutledge said afterward. And sheriff's officers had no complainant telling them Edwards and Cobbler were breaking and entering, he said. Because King had part ownership of the property, she had a right to enter the building, Judge William Neely said before dismissing the charges on a defense motion. The property settlement in King and Causey's case is still pending.
