HARRISON, Ark. (AP) - A lawyer who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge filed by Whitewater prosecutors died Thursday when the small plane he was piloting crashed while trying to land at an airport, officials said.

John Haley, 72, who was once the personal lawyer of former Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, had recently joined a new law firm. A partner, Peter B. Heister, confirmed Haley's death.

One passenger, Farish Kincaid, 70, also was killed in the crash. Authorities said the men, both from the Little Rock area, apparently were due at a business meeting in Harrison.

Haley and Tucker were accused in 1995 of setting up a sham bankruptcy to hide profits from a business deal. Haley pleaded guilty and was fined and ordered to pay restitution.

Tucker pleaded guilty in the case, and was also convicted in a separate trial on fraud charges involving James and Susan McDougal, the partners of President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Whitewater land deal. Tucker was sentenced to probation and home detention.

The Clintons were never charged in connection with Whitewater.

Haley's Bonanza single-engine, two-seat aircraft crashed in a ravine about 300 yards south of the Boone County Airport in northwestern Arkansas, Sheriff Danny Hickman said.

The National Transportation Safety Board planned an investigation.

Not putting any of my money on a bet like that LOL

And that might well be all this is; however, you have to admit, it's peculiar how "unlucky" people are who cross their paths.....and I think, in part, this is also why they get away with so much...people are afraid of them, IMHO.

[section9]

not surprising at all....next will be the guy in jail, who did fundraising for Klintoon.

Oh shoot, the poor bastard who was dumb enough to say in public that he has the goods on Hillary? He's sleepin' with the fishes before six months are out, I guarantee it!

Be Seeing You,

"Do you use Reynolds or Alcoa Aluminum?"

OMG! Reynolds and Alcoa are, or were at one time, based in Arkansas. Could this mean the Clintons are behind the tinfoil industry????

"They sure know a lot of dead people..."

Well, it DOES expand their voter pool. Living RAT voters are getting scarcer.

" you have to admit, it's peculiar how "unlucky" people are who cross their paths"

Especially people with the potential to damage them politically.

Whitewater brought you to the FR and five days later I found this place. We was joined the same week.

If I knew either Billary I would just vomit.....
And hope the neighbors never found out

Yup! That'd be enough to ruin the entire family's reputation for at least three generations.

Another Arkancide?

Read somewhere that Clark might possibly choose "Ole Crusty" to be his running mate.
Should they win ,God Forbid, Clark would be in a bad dangerous place.
More dangerous than walking around with a gasoline overcoat with a pocket full of matches......

Ah! My cue to post my screed!

I'm worried about VICE President Clinton. Think of it:

• She keeps he promise not to run for president in '04
• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed...

Just as an aside, with the Clinton's love of all things Military - Wesley Clark is VERY expendible, isn't he?

[Ciexyz]

Reminds me of ole times on FR!

[null and void]

she'll not run for vp.

Wanna bet?

[null and void]

Who in their right mind would pick her to be VP??

Which of the nine dwarves is in their right mind?

[Revel]

Clinton never rests....


Anyone using netscape 4.7 Starting today all the replys are messed up in format. Links are all red(instead of blue) and everything is spaced wrong. Looking back through older threads and those before around 2002 are still ok. Looking at threads newer than this and the problems occurs. They look ok in mozzila though. Example of spacing:

Any bets that should that happen, he'd bite the big one before inauguration?

No way. Then Lord Hildamort!™ could only have 8 years in office...
