Ark. Plane Crash Kills Whitewater Lawyer

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.

I thought "arkancide" was a murder made to look like suicide.

"FYI ping....wonder why so many against Hitlery and billy are dying, before their time?"

Strange - none of these people seem to die quietly in their sleep. Always in a bizarre and dramatic way.

Looks like the Clinton body count is rising again. Not surprised though.

Arkansas ping!

As always with this gang - ask "Why this, why now?"

Maybe this has Enron ties.

From WorldNetDaily in February 2002: Senate probes Clinton loans for Enron deals: Finance committee finds 3 federal agencies gave 'hundreds of millions' to risky projects

Excerpt:

Ex-Im [Export-Import] Bank board members during the Clinton years include Jackie Clegg, wife of Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Maria Haley, a former aide to Clinton in Little Rock and ex-wife of John Haley, who was convicted in the Whitewater investigation.

Dodd served as co-chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the '96 Clinton-Gore campaign. Clinton appointed Clegg vice chair of the Ex-Im Bank board in June 1997.

Haley has ties to the crooked Riady family who operate the Lippo Group out of Jakarta, Indonesia. The Riadys ran afoul of federal bank regulators after they took control of the Worthen Bank in Little Rock in the 1980s. Haley's long-time law partner, Mark Grobmyer, a Clinton golfing buddy, is a Lippo lobbyist.

While at Ex-Im Bank, documents show Haley OK'd federal loans for Indonesian projects worth more than $40 billion, including many involving Lippo and its subsidiaries.

Clinton replaced her on the board with Vanessa Weaver, who was forced by the Senate Banking Committee to recuse herself from Lippo transactions after a 1999 Investor's Business Daily story exposed her close ties to Lippo executive John Huang.

Both Huang and James Riady have since been convicted of fraud relating to Clinton-Gore fund-raising.

Two Enron executives -- Joseph Sutton and Rebecca McDonald -- have served on the Ex-Im Bank's advisory committee.

I think murders made to look like "accidents" also qualify. ;)

If I knew Bill or Hillary, I would NEVER step foot in a plane.

dying, before their time?"

I just think it is (or was) impressive that a 72 y/o could still pass his physical and fly his 72 y/o buddy around .

Maybe the guy was fixing to write a book, that would be suicide. Oh well, how does that song go? "And another one bites the dust".

Probably not unusual in Arkansas if you know the right people.
