Baldwin
Continued from Page 1
Baldwin has been involved in the
outpatient treatment program for
only six months, he said.
“Apparently, he’s done well,”
Lacey said.
But, he said, Baldwin has not
faced many difficult challenges
during that time. The court needs to
know how Baldwin would react to
those challenges, such as breaking
up with his girlfriend or being re
jected for a job. Lacey said.
“I think we need to give the
gentleman a little more time to de
termine if he’s doing well,’ Lacey
said. “Is that asking too much? I
don’t think so.”
Chief Deputy Public Defender
Scott Helvic, Baldwin’s court-ap
pointed lawyer, said the court had
no basis to continue supervising
Baldwin.
“There is no evidence to support
the conclusion that Mr. Baldwin
would gooffhis medication,” Helvic
said.
Because Baldwin is no longer a
danger to himself or others, Helvic
said, the state has no legal grounds
to continue court supervision.
Helvic also said Baldwin would
have an easier time working if he
were released from court supervi
sion.
Othcrwitncssessaid that Baldwin
had clear, realistic goals, that he
was commi tted to his treatment pro
gram and that he had overcome
numerous challenges.
Jolene Davidson, Baldwin’sgirl
friend, said he never lost control
when faced with those challenges.
“1 have not seen Scott lose con
trol, and Scott and I have been up
agaiast some pretty big obstacles,”
Davidson said.
Baldwin has been challenged by
his physical disabilities and a fever
that hospitalized him for three weeks
this summer, she said.
He also was challenged recently
when a friend died and when the
state denied him permission to trav
el to New Jersey for the KickofT
Classic last weekend, she said.
Davidson said Baldwin was com
mitted to taking medication for both
his mental and physical disorders.
He takes 11.5 pills each morning,
she said. Only three are for his
mental disorder.
“Medicine is a very big part of
Scott’s life,” she said. “He has ex
pressed time and time again his
commitment to taking those pills.”
Davidson said Baldwin’s goals
included working with youths who
had faced challenges in their lives.
He also has expressed interest in
getting married and having chil
dren, she said.
“It’s so nice to have him at home
and have a semi-normal life,” she
said.

on a board with the power to grant
clemency.
The state’s lawyers argued Tues
day that the board, which also includes
the governor and secretary of state, is
made up of elected official s and there
fore reflects the public policy wishes
of the electorate.
In this ease. Assistant Attorney
General Curt Brown argued, the peo
ple of Nebraska have shown support
for the death penalty by electing those
officials.
“Our system doesn’t produce neu
tral people on the executive side. The
neutrality that we all revere in the
judicial branch is not acceptable on the
executive branch side.”
Otcy’sattorney, Shawn Renner,said
the pardons board was biased against
his client, because Attorney General
Don Stenberg was a member of the
panel and because two of Stenberg’s
assistants gave testimony to the board
about Otcy’s crime.

dean.
“ Anthropology is about people, and
education is about people, and admin
istration and the university arc about
people,” he said.
As an administrator, he said he
must work to make sure the needs of
faculty and students were met.
“The people that matter at the uni
versity are students and faculty. The
role of administration is to work with
students and faculty, to facilitate, so
they can get their work done,” he said.
Despite his goals for the future.
Foster said he still was new atUNLand
was spending time getting adjusted.
“Right now, just for these first few
weeks, my lop priority is to listen a lot
and get a lot of information.
“1 want to talk to plenty of people,
chairs and deans and faculty. I’m just
trying to find out as much as I can
about the college, the university and
the state of Nebraska.”
And evon though his new role has
him so busy he can hardly keep up,
Foster can’t quit talking about how
much he likes his new home.
“What I like here is the people.
They’re energetic, smart and care about
what they’re doing. The students arc
interested and focused on their educa
tion. The campus is a wonderful phys
ical environment.
“I’m glad I came.”
