Court urged to
throw out verdict
ATLANTA (AP)
Georgia’s high court was
asked Tuesday to overturn
a verdict against a woman
who was found guilty of
murdering her police officer
husband by poisoning him
with antifreeze.
Atlanta attorney Don
Samuel told the Georgia
Supreme Court that a Cobb
County judge was wrong
to let the jury hear details
about another death: that
of Lynn Turner’s boyfriend
who died six years later, also
from antifreeze poisoning.
If the court throws out
the 2004 conviction, it
could jeopardize the state’s
pending death penalty case
against Turner in her boy
friend’s death.
Samuel said Cobb Superior
Court Judge James Bodiford
should not have allowed “sim
ilar transaction evidence” of
Turner’s boyfriend’s death
during Turner’s trial for her
husband’s murder. He said
the reasons stated for doing
so “did not establish a logi
cal connection between the
two murders.”
Turner, a former 911
operator, was found guilty
in Houston County of the
1995 murder of her hus
band, Cobb County officer
Glenn Turner. She was sen
tenced to life in prison. The
case was moved out of Cobb
because of pretrial publicity.
Since her conviction,
Turner, 38, of Cumming,
has also been charged with
murder in the 2001 death of
Randy Thompson, a Forsyth
County firefighter and the
father of her two children.
That trial is due to begin
Jan. 8 in Forsyth County.
Prosecutors are seeking
the death penalty against
Turner.
Both men were in their
30s when they died, and
both deaths were initially
ruled as natural. Only after

Pay balancing lor

ATHENS (MNS) - An age
old salary gap between male

United States has nearly
closed at the University of
Georgia, where women may
even have surpassed men
among junior faculty, accord

the American Association of
University Professors.
Of the nation’s universi
ties that offer doctorates,
UGA ranks 19th for paying
female assistant professors
on average 100.1 percent of
what male assistant profes
sors make - topping all SEC
schools and universities sim

ing to the report.
But women may not be
moving up the ranks as
quickly as men, one of the
report’s authors said.
Female faculty at UGA
receive about 96 percent of
men’s salaries at the associ
ate professor level, 93 per
cent at the full professor
level and 85 percent across
all faculty levels. Louisiana
State University pays its
female faculty about 73 per
cent of what it pays male fac
ulty - the widest gap among
the SEC schools, according
to the AAUP report.
Men still make more than
women at the full profes
sor level because they began
teaching 30 to 40 years ago
when the profession favored
men over women, said
Martha West, co-author of
the AAUP report and pro
fessor at the University of
California at Davis.

said. “But change takes a

Bush congratulates Democrats,
names a new defense secretary
WASHINGTON (AP)
- President Bush on
Wednesday congratulated
Democrats on their takover
of the House and strong
gains in the Senate and
announced he had selected
a new defense secretary to
oversee the increasingly vio
lent conflict in Iraq.
Bush, reaching into
the administration of his
father, said that former CIA
Director Robert Gates would
replace Donald M. Rumsfeld
as defense secretary.
To the end, Bush defended
Rumsfeld’s troubled tenure,
calling him “a patriot who
served this country with
honor and distinction.”
