Prevotte Pleads insanity
In Teacher Staying Case

Billy Ray Prevatte, IA, pleaded
not guilty by reason of insanity
yesterday at his arraignment on
charges of numbering one teach
er and assaulting two others
with intent to kill, at Maryland
Park Junior High School last
May.
His lawyers lost a motion to
invalidate his first degree MUIR
der indictment by the Prince
Georges County grand jury.
The youngster was arraigned
in Upper Marlboro before Circuit
Judge Charles C. Marbury.
In June, Spring Grove State
Hospital ruled the youth was
sane and able to stand trial.
Yesterday one of his court
appointed lawyers, Wilmer D.
Pyles, said the insanity plea was
based on a report by a private
pSychlatrlSt.
May Ask Jury Trial
Mr.. Pyles said he probably
would ask for jury trial. Mean
while the youth will be returned
to Jail at Upper Marlboro.
Prevatte is charged with IA
tally shooting Fraser K. Cameron
of Cheverly and wounding Fran
els D. Wagner and Robert w.
Hicks, both of Greenbelt.
Mr.. Pyles, who with Attorney
A. Gwynn Bowie, is defending
Prevatte, said the youth was il
legally indicted for murder be-
cause Juvenile Court had never
waived jurisdiction on the first
degree murder charge.
He said Juvenile Judge Nita

sault with intent to kill charges,
but merely held Prevatte for

land acquisition bill then was
expected to total about 500, 900.
