According to Bursey's defense attorney, Jasper Cureton, the stat ute against burning a flag carries a fine of $100, plus 30 days' im prisonment. Therefore, it may be outside the jurisdiction of the Gen kral Sessions Court, in which case it will go to the County Court, he said. Steve Wilson, a physical educa tion major at USC, testified he saw Bursey waving a hurning flag. According to Cureton, W i i s o n saidl he left an AWARE meeting early and came back by Russell House as the meeting broke up. He saw several students, Bursey among them, carrying a confed erate flag, and followed them t,)! President Jones' home. It was (lark, and Wilson testified that he could not see who set the flag afire, but that he did see Bursey waving a burning flag. Cureton said that along with the statute which makes it a crime to l.estroy a flag, there is also one against mutilating a flag. He ex plained that waving the flag while it was burning may be considered Imutilating it.
