"'Squeaky' up for parole
'She'll never get out,' ex-DA sez of Fromme"

By JANET McLAREN
DAILY NEWS WRITER

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON - The infamous "lady in red" who tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975 faces her first and last parole hearing next month after serving 30 years of a life sentence in federal prison.
Even if she is granted parole, Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme - once a devoted member of mass murderer Charles Manson's "Family" - will still have to serve an additional 13 months because of a 1988 prison escape. If she's turned down, she will die in prison.

Fromme, now 56, has rejected parole hearings since she first became eligible in 1985. But by law a hearing is now mandatory - and she must be freed if a parole board finds she is not likely to commit another crime and has not seriously violated prison rules.

Tom Hutchinson, chief of staff for the U.S. Parole Commission, said his office will begin proceedings next month and announce the results in early September."

"2 men convicted in student's killing

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Two men charged with killing a Wayne State University graduate student were convicted of second-degree murder Friday in Macomb County Circuit Court.


The jury declined to convict Bashar Farraj, 28, of Detroit and Samer Fawaz, 30, of Dearborn of the more serious charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.


Police and Macomb County prosecutors said they believe the men killed Raed Al-Farah, 27, of Madison Heights. Al-Farah, a native of Jordan who was in the United States on a student visa, was studying for his second master's degree in business before he disappeared nearly two years ago. His body was never found."
