W 3T'_L_,___, _, rfurther, appeals have been pending in both Federal and State Courts. The article indicated that MESSERMAN, representing 32 KSU faculty members, was pursuing his appeals throuqh the Ohio State Courts, while attorneys, DAVID SCRIBNER, of New York, and BENJAMIN SHEEREP, of Cleveland, were representing a group of KSU students and had appealed to the Federal Courts.
According
to the
article,
these groups
were oriqinally
joined
together, but that they split on January 28, 1971, when Judge THOMAS ruled out the grand jury report-and allowed the indictments against the 25 persons to stand} "Judge THOMAS said the report which exonerated National Guardsmen and blamed the KSU uprising on the university faculty and administration, made fair trials for the 25 impossible and violated free speech" this article further reported. _ In a separate article appearing in the Akron Beacon Journal on October 20, 1971, it was reported that aides to the Ohio Attorney General were in Ravenna, Ohio, on October 18 and October 19 interviewing those who might testify for the prosecution in the cases of the 25 persons indicted. According to this article, Ohio Attorney General WILLIAM BROWN is concerned about the trials starting before 1972 because "State law requires that a person be brought to trial within three court
terms after he is indicted." The third court term since the
indictments were
returned on
October
5, 1970,
will end
on
December 31,
1971. The
article went
on to
indicate that
"there
has never
been a ruling
on whether

the three-term
requirement
vised that
25 persons indicted by the Portage County complicated by the fact that KSU students Federal Grand Jury regarding the May, 1970
