  • June 15,1995 Western Carolinian Features "Queen" Continued from page 5 of the trials until at least July 1995, Swift was forced to move on. He is now a graduate student in labor relations at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and plans to become an attorney specializing in labor law. Although initial media accounts of the crime contained enough lurid details to shock the community, additional information—some even more shocking and upsetting—should surface during the trials, if the information contained in court documents is any indication. Swift learned that huge volumes of unverified information hurtle across Jackson County through an unofficial "grapevine" that bypasses official communication conduits and informs the community much faster than radio, television, or newspapers. He tapped that grapevine, but soon realized that grapevine information is sometimes wrong. He learned he would have to confirm or verify such information before it could be published or treated as factual. Much of what Swift found was even more lurid and shocking than reported details. Little of that information could be verified to the extent necessary for publication without trial testimony or the release of key discovery documents and reports substantiated enough for publication as news until evidence is presented in the trials. Rumors continue now. Some will hold up under scrutiny. Others will be discarded. Hunter Library has a copy of the June 16,1994 Western Carolinian with Swift's original story. There have been some significant developments since his story appeared. • The case has a new lead prosecutor, Alan Leonard, former District Attorney in Henderson County. Leonard was defeated in a November 1994 election and hired as an Assistant District Attorney in the 10th judicial district that includes Jackson County. The original prosecutor, Assistant Christina Clapsaddle, took maternity leave. • One of the 14 court-appointed defense lawyers, Brenda Brewer, is now an Assistant District Attorney and has no connection with the case. • In a July 1994 pre-trial hearing, Judge Hyatt ruled that the death penalty would not be sought for Anderson and Michael Blain Hagedorn. Hagedom was a minor at the time of Queen's death. The death penalty is still being sought for the other five defendants. • All seven defendants were charged with four counts of second-degree burglary, larceny, and possession of stolen goods in August 1994 for incidents that occurred between December 1993 and March 1994 and included the burglary of a home on Cullowhee Mountain. • In October 1994, Judge Hyatt ordered new security arrangements for the trial, including a single courtroom entrance, searches of attendees, and restrictions on when persons can enter or leave the courtroom. • Following Judge Hyatt's October 1994 reduction of his bail from $ 100,000 to $15,000, Anderson posted a secured bond and was released. or escorted by uniformed or visibly armed law The other six defendants remain in jail. • Judge Hyatt granted a motion that defendant Hagedom not be seen in the courthouse where he could be photographed and that he not be seen by members of the jury while wearing restraints enforcement officers. In December 1994, the North Carolina Victim's Compensation Commission granted $2,000 for the Queen family's funeral expenses. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: WWCU Must File For License Renewal On November 18,1988, WWCU was granted a license by the Federal Communication Committee to serve the public interest as a public trustee until December 1, 1995. The license will expire on December 1,1995. WWCU must file an application for license renewal with the FCC on August 1,1995.
