Ark. Plane Crash Kills Whitewater
Lawyer
By Associated Press
December 4, 2003, 9:35 PM EST HARRISON, Ark. -- A lawyer who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge filed
by Whitewater prosecutors died Thursday when the small plane he was piloting
crashed while trying to land at an airport, officials said.
John Haley, 72, who was once the personal lawyer of former Arkansas Gov.
Jim Guy Tucker, had recently joined a new law firm. A partner, Peter B. Heister,
confirmed Haley's death.
One passenger, Farish Kincaid, 70, also was killed in the crash.
Authorities said the men, both from the Little Rock area, apparently were due at
a business meeting in Harrison.
Haley and Tucker were accused in 1995 of setting up a sham bankruptcy to
hide profits from a business deal. Haley pleaded guilty and was fined and
ordered to pay restitution.
Tucker pleaded guilty in the case, and was also convicted in a separate
trial on fraud charges involving James and Susan McDougal, the partners of
President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Whitewater land
deal. Tucker was sentenced to probation and home detention.
The Clintons were never charged in connection with Whitewater.
Haley's Bonanza single-engine, two-seat aircraft crashed in a ravine about
300 yards south of the Boone County Airport in northwestern Arkansas, Sheriff
Danny Hickman said.
The National Transportation Safety Board planned an investigation.
