Some five hours before, Thorpe and
three others were charged with con-
spiring to murder 37-year-old male
model Norman Scott.
Newspapers splashed an allegation
by Scott 212 years ago that "I am
being hounded by people just because
of my sexual relationship with
Jeremy Thorpe." Thorpe repeatedly

dalous headlines and the embarrass-
ment of the Liberal Party over the af-
fair forced him to resign as Liberal
Party head in 1976.
The charge stems from an investi-
gation ordered by Prime Minister
James Callaghan's Labor government
into allegations made last October by
British airline pilot Andrew Newton.
Newton told the London Evening
News he was hired by Liberal Party
sources and paid $9,500 to kill Scott,
who lives in North Devon
The affair is the biggest political
scandal to hit Britain since War Min-
ister John Profumo resigned in 1963
after admitting an affair with call girl
Christine Keeler, one of whose other
friends was Capt. Eugene Ivanov, as-
sistant naval attache at the Soviet
Embassy in London at the time.

These examples ore only two of over 1,000 cases in the past four years in which plea bargaining
allowed criminals to receive light sentences or to spend no time in prison for felonies committed in
Comanche County.
Would the same sentences hove resulted if the coses had been brought to triol?
Vote for Dick Tannery, a District Attorney who will force more trials by taking a tougher stance
on plea bargaining with those who commit homocide.
