Given the upheaval in the district, North "Carolina . Republicans feel that Marin, a former National Baskeball Association player and Atlantic Coast Con ;ferience standout, can 'defeat Valentine. Marin is being backed by the National Republican Party "and the Congressional Club a rundraising organiza tion founded and philosophically directed by N.C. Senator Jesse Helms, Marin also has . some black support, ac cording to his chief cam paign aide. This week, Richard Richards, National Republican Party chair man; visited the district to endorse Marin. Na tionally, the Republican Party is attempting to both elect more Republicans and enlist more black support: ; In a related matter, Valentine has refused to debate Marin. Valentine says that It is because he does not want to give the Republican hopeful a platform, and sees no 'need for a face to face meeting between the w?; - 11 ' Mann supporters say something different. Dabney - Lassiter, a Marin supporter, said that Valentine is refusing to debate because he is afraid of Marin, i "Valentine does not have a straight identity," Lassiter said, "he is not good on the issues and he' is not a good speaker." She called Valentine a For example: Both the woman Reams was with and his brother, who also, allegedly witnessed the death, have said that the car first passed the cou ple headed in the op posite direction, swung around, hit Reams and sped away with its headlights off. Ms. Reid says the driver yelled racial epithets at them the first time he passed the couple. ' Ms. Reid, who says she favors black men to white men, also told The Carolina Times that she recognized Grimes as the driver of the car because he and her brother had been involved in drug deals together. Grimes, described by one police officer as "a bad cookie," has a long arrest record that in cludes charges of drug trafficking, assault and larceny. He has been charged with 17 viola tions, but has been con victed only three times. Most of the other cases were aismissea - oy ine ample of racist violence, and had urged city of ficials to formally, de nounce the incident. The City Council has taken 'no aciton on; that re quest. j In its slow, and tor tuous progress to trial, the Grimes-Reams case also got tied up in local politics. i Durham's District At torney Dan Edwards was accused of - playing politic; with the case for not taking it before the grand jury before the Democratic primary election in June. Ronald Stephens, Ed wards' Democratic bp ;onent who subsequent y beat Edwards, said the ncumbent DA was try ng not to anger blacks during the campaign by taking the case to the Grand Jury. Edwards also, during the same period, agreed to have a state NAACP lawyer as special prosecutor in the case, though it is not .clear what role, if any, this attorney Angus Thompson will play in the. actual trial, Stephens also said that Edwards was 'trying to appease white voters by not going after a more serious charge against ' Grimes. " , Edwards denied any political maneuvering in his handling of the Grimes case. ; And so when court opens Monday, and the bailiff calls the Grimes' case, there will be more on trial than a white man accused of killing a black man. Also on trial will be the question of whether Durham has joined other American cities where prosecutor before, trial, randofa violence against According to one source, ouicks nas oecome a lair- Grimes' . record resembles that of a police informer. . . v j.
