The rape claim against two prominent Virginia Tech football players has been
thrown out of federal court.
The judge flatly dismissed Christy Brzonkala's case.
DOUBLE BOXES Keith/Melanie
Keith Humphry broke the story last Christmas and has the first word on the
dismissal.
SUPER=@Keith1;
Judge Jackson Kiser had already let the University off the hook, ruling
that the actions of the football players could not extend to Virginia Tech.
This is what was left:
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=@file
Brzonkala claimed she'd been a victim- -not just of sexual assault on the
Tech campus.
Her lawyer said the athletes, Toni Morrison and James Crawford discriminated
against the Fairfax woman because she was a woman... that these were NOT random
acts of violence.
(----------------)
ANCHOR=Keith
The claim was brought under a new federal law, the Violence Against WOmen
Act.
Congress passed it and the President signed it just days before the alleged
rape occurred in September, 1994.
But Judge Kiser has ruled the law Unconstitutional.

The F-B-I is expressing confidence this afternoon that it will find those
responsible for the bombing at the Olympics.
Officials say there are no suspects yet, but they do have sketches from
eyewitness accounts.
Saturday's pipe bomb explosion at Centennial Park killed a woman and injured
more than 100.
A Turkish camerman also died after suffering a heart attack while rushing to
photograph the aftermath.
Meantime, Olympic officials plan to reopen the park tomorrow, but with much
tighter security.
Officials are boosting the number of security people, setting up more
surveillance cameras, and allowing for random searches of people's bags.
Dave Fehling has the latest from Atlanta.

None of the debris will be lifted until divers have recovered
