BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – One of two men accused of conspiring to murder a South Dakota man in North Dakota is appealing his conviction to the North Dakota Supreme Court.
Joshua Clark is serving life in prison for his role in the spring 2013 killing of 18-year-old John Swain, who had moved to Bismarck from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in search of work. Clark’s co-defendant, Theo Crowe, also is serving life behind bars.
Authorities say Clark and Crowe lured Swain into a Bismarck home, hit him with a hammer, cut off his legs and buried the body in Montana.
Clark’s attorney, Charles Stock, told justices Tuesday that there’s no evidence Clark and Crow plotted a murder. Prosecutor Pamela Nesvig disputed that. The Supreme Court will rule later.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators say they have increased inspections of oil wells near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers because of a flooding threat.
Officials say recent rains could cause the confluence near Williston to exceed the flood stage of 22 feet by the weekend.
Department of Mineral Resources spokeswoman Alison Ritter says regulators have notified 13 companies who own about 80 wells in the area. The operators have been told to dike the sites and secure equipment to prepare for possible flooding.
Ritter says four wells near the confluence that have suffered flooding problems in the past are being shut down as a precaution.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The chairman of North Dakota Legislative Management has named a six-member committee that will meet next week in Bismarck to try to negotiate a compromise on an unresolved measure in this year’s Legislature that affects public employee benefits.
Grand Forks Sen. Ray Holmberg set the committee hearing for 10 a.m. Monday at the state Capitol. He tells The Bismarck Tribune that if an agreement is reached, the Legislature could reconvene June 16.
The session ended in April two days short of the maximum permitted under the state constitution. It came to a close with the House and Senate still at odds over legislation aimed at ensuring that thousands of public employees, including lawmakers, can keep the same health benefits and medical providers when their insurer changes July 1.
In world and national news…
BOSTON (AP) – Police in Boston have shown a video of Tuesday’s fatal shooting to clergy leaders and civil rights advocates. And the head of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts says it shows that police were telling the truth about the shooting of Usaama Rahim by members of a Joint Terrorism Task Force. Police said he had lunged at officers with a knife, but Rahim’s brother had claimed he was shot in the back.
BOSTON (AP) – Authorities are revealing more details about the threat they say was posed by the man authorities shot and killed Tuesday in Boston. One official says Usaama Rahim had discussed “committing beheadings” and “harming police officers” with another suspect — who is now under arrest. Boston’s police commissioner says the lives of military and law enforcement personnel were threatened.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A white Wisconsin police officer has been cleared of wrongdoing in an internal investigation of his fatal shooting of an unarmed 19-year-old biracial man. The Madison Police Department today issued a summary of its finding that Officer Matt Kenny did not violate its deadly force policies in the March 6 shooting death of 19-year-old Tony Robinson. The internal decision follows one last month by prosecutors that Kenny would not be charged in the case.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to spend the summer building a case that Republicans are out of touch with the concerns of most people. But recent polls suggest Americans are split over whether Clinton herself empathizes with their needs and problems. That’s a potential early warning sign for the Democratic front-runner. According to a CNN/ORC poll released this week, about 47 percent of Americans say Clinton cares about people like them. That’s down from 53 percent in the same poll last summer.
RYE, N.Y. (AP) – The American who was mauled to death by a lion in a South Africa game preserve has been identified as a woman who grew up in the New York suburbs. Katherine Chappell’s funeral is planned for Saturday. A funeral home in Rye confirms that Chappell was the victim in Monday’s attack in the Lion Park north of Johannesburg. A park official said the woman was attacked through an open car window as she took photos. The driver also was injured. The official says park rules require car windows to be closed.
