For our struggle I* not
agolnst flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against
the authorities, against the
powers of this dark world
and against the spiritual
forces of evil In the heeven-

the full armor of God, so
that when the day of evil
comes, you may be able fo
stand your ground, and
after you heve done every-
thing, to stand."

the appellate court s decision
Hickerson said during that year,
several more witnesses came tor-

contradicted Hahn's alibi
"Using well-paid defense attor-
