"I feel real secure that they have the right man," she said. "I felt the evidence was overwhelming. It's just unfortunate that it took so long to prosecute him." Despite the notoriety of the de- fendant, the case took more than four years to get to trial. Lucas was ar- rested Dec. 16, 1984. in his Spring Valley home. But the case was de- len~thy and complicated pretrial motions. . . The trial began last January and included 56 d~ys of testimony.

Robert Feraru, public adviser for the commission, said other grants will be made each year until the funds run out. With interest, the com- mission expects to pay out $22 to $23 million over a five-year period. Grants totaling $5 milion were dis- tributed yesterday to groups throughout California with emphasis on education. Grants were also given groups that target senior citizens, migrant farmworkers, family coun- seling centers, and elected officials in area with low income and minori- ty populations. The Calilfornia Rural Legal Assistance Program will dis- tribute pamphlets on phone use and pricing in English and Spanish.

Several top PacBell executives were forced to resign and the state ordered a com- plete revision of the company's operating and sales practices as well as mandating that every California customer for the first time be sent an itemized bill each month in order to understand what they were paying for. The PacBell customer reps, operating under instructions to maximize profits, also refused to allow the poor to order the cheap- er, half-price lif~line telephone service, and required upfront cash deposits from the poor despite state criteria that none was required. The unique penalty-education plan arose from a suggestion by Bob Gnaizda, head of a See PacBell on 7!_e D-2 tive outgrowth of an unfortunate incident,'' said Mitch Wilk, president of the state Public Utilities Commission, which ordered the spending as well as the earlier penalties. "This is the perfect solution to something that was disappointing to us in regards to how our business was conducted," said Terry Churchill, PacBell vice president. He char- acterized the overpricing as a period when the company fell short of its ethical stand- ards. For almost two years, PacBell customer service representatives - following compa- ny-prepared word-for-word scripts - con- vinced prospective customers they had to buy many new services as part of a package, all in violation of state rules, Many custom- ers had unwanted services put on their bills without talking to PacBell operators, who had to fill sales quotas while competing for prizes. Services added to bills included such items "/ The company al o paid $16.5 million to the tate as a penalty, which was calculated on the baSI of a multiple of the salaries of the managerial personnel who supervised the cu tomer rep - bringing the total impact n PacBell to $93 5 m1llion. It is this penalty that the tate began distributing yesterday. The money goes to 32 non-profit organiza- tion - including six from San Diego - and will be u ed to explain American telephone and telecommunications practices and pric- in to the Chinese, black, Korean, Viet- namese, Cambodian, Hispanic, Hmong, Lao- tian, and Khmer communities, as well as any group unsophisticated in communications in- dustry business practices.
