NATIONAL J Violence Counselor: Simpson Arrest Will Open Eyes HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) ? The murder accusations against O.J. Simpson could help focus attention on problems of domestic violence, an expert said. Simpson is charged with mur der in the stabbings last week of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and a friend of hers, Ronald Gold man. The former college football Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Hall of Famer says he is innocent. Mrs. Simpson had filed domestic violence complaints against Simpson during their mar riage, officials said. Huntington native Betty Bfevins-Fisher serves on the Los Angeles County Domes tic Violence Council. She said national tragedies like Simpson's _often force the public to confront difficult issues - - - ... j "The spotlight is turned on domestic violence, and we want to use the opportunity to see that these types of tragedies don't occur again," she said. ; / Blevins-Fisher, who gradu ated from Huntington East High School in 1959, also is executive director of Haven Hills, a domestic violence shelter serving the San Fer A I Cowlings who allegedly drove a vehicle with O.J.Simpson as a passenger as he eluded police on a two county chase was charged yith one count of aiding and abet ting in Simpson 's escape. nando Valley in California. She said many people either, aon t Delieve or refuse to acknowledge that domestic violence occurs frequently and cuts through all social and economic lines. Paula Crawford, a member of the West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence, agreed that the media focus on the Simpson case O.J. Simpson and his former wife, Sicole Brown Simpson f : [ 1 ?? ? could help expose domestic vio lence. j "If anything positive comes out of this whole thing, it will be increased awareness," Crawford said. "It would take a couple of years to mount a campaign with the same effect" . Crawford helped lobby the Legislature this year for the state's new "warrantless arrest" law.. which lets police make domestic violence arrests without witnessing the violence and without warrants. While West Virginia has the nation's lowest overall' crime rate, its murder rate ranks near the mid dle of the 5t) states, and about 40 percent of its murders stem from domestic violence. Crawford said. I "We have a problem that peo ple may not realize;" she said. Jacobs Named Executive VP of Anheuser BusclW ? John E.
