Military court
finds jury biased
WASHINGTON (AP) ?
A military appeals court has
overturned the conviction of
a female Marine corporal
who served 226 days in the
brig in 1988 for allegedly
having sex with another woman,
a defense attorney said.
In an unusual decision, the
court last week found that
two of the officers serving
on the jury at Barbara J.
Baum's court martial were
biased and that the military
judge had allowed uncorroborated
testimony.

shying away from South
Carolina's beaches because
of Hurricane Hugo.
Tourism experts credit
most of the jump in summer

coast to aggressive
state and local marketing
campaigns.
