Christy Brzonkala's rape case against two Virginia Tech football players

Brzonkala wanted it heard in FEDERAL court, so she could rely on a law
recently passed by Congress.

It would only happen, now, Jean, if Brzonkala appeals and wins a reversal

of Judge Jackson Kiser's decision... a bit of a legal long- shot.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=@file;
The 42-page ruling accepted a factual basis for Brzonkala's case against
the two athletes: Tony Morrison and James Crawford... that the two men sexually
assaulted her in their dorm room at Tech in September of 1994.
The judge had already dropped Tech as a defendant, and now he's dismissed
the case entirely, declaring the Violence Against Women Act UNconstitutional.
(----------------)
ANCHOR=Keith
While Judge Kiser concluded violence against women is a troublesome aspect
of American life, he said Congress can't "cure all of the ills of mankind."
The case could be heard in STATE Court. Brzonkala's lawyer filed a claim
in Montgomery Country two weeks ago.

But, Jean, an appeal of the FEDERAL court order is probably more likely.
ANCHOR=Jean

Well, you remember that the U-S Justice Department and NOW, the National
Organization for Women both rallied to Brzonkala's cause. With their clout and
financial support, it seems likely attorney Eileen Wagner will appeal.
She would much prefer to try the case under the Violence Against Women act
in FEDERAL court.

The Appeals Court would have to say judge Kiser was wrong and send it back
to him for trial eventually.
The appeal, briefs, oral arguments, another ruling- - It could take another
