Jamestown, ND (KCSi- T.V. News Aug 22, 2012) \u2014 A Southeast District Court Jury, of eight women and four men, in Jamestown Wednesday began deliberation in the trial of Leron Howard.<\/p>\n

Not reaching a verdict Wednesday, the jurors recessed just before 5-p.m., and will continue deliberations, on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Howard is charged with murder and criminal conspiracy in the death of Abdi Ali Ahmed on April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

Howard\u2019s court appointed defense attorney, Steve Mottinger, asked the jury to convict Howard of manslaughter during closing arguments.<\/p>\n

If they find Howard not guilty of murder they would then consider the lesser included charge of manslaughter.<\/p>\n

Abdi Ali Ahmed\u2019s body was found in a road ditch near Spiritwood, on April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

An autopsy revealed\u00a0Ahmed died of blunt force trauma to the head and he was also stabbed twice in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

On the stand Tuesday, Howard admitted to striking Ahmed twice during an altercation during the early morning hours of April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

Murder and criminal conspiracy are Class AA felonies punishable by life in prison without parole.<\/p>\n

Manslaughter is a Class B felony punishable by 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Jury selection in the case began August 14, 2012 with testimony beginning on August 15, 2012.<\/p>\n

Closing arguments were heard in the case Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The co-defendant on the case, Janelle Cave of Jamestown was found guilty, in a jury trial in Jamestown, in February of 2012, of manslaughter, and conspiracy, in the death of Ahmed.<\/p>\n

She is appealing her conviction in the North Dakota Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s two largest universities set
\nenrollment records during the first day of fall semester classes.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota State in Fargo had 14,319 students enrolled
\nTuesday, an increase of about half a percent over the year.<\/p>\n

The University of North Dakota in Grand Forks had 14,807 students, up
\nabout 5 percent.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The official fall enrollment won’t be tallied at either
\nuniversity until the fourth week of classes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers are supporting big
\nincreases in some of the state’s highway speeding fines.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota has some of the region’s lowest fines for speeders.<\/p>\n

They’re also hard for law officers to calculate without using a
\nchart.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislature’s Transportation Committee on Wednesday endorsed
\nraising the fines and making them easier to figure.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, someone who’s caught driving 65 mph on a 55 mph road is
\nfined $10. Under the new bill, the fine would be $50.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Someone going 80 mph on North Dakota’s interstate highways would
\nbe fined $50, instead of $25.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bill would also allow cities to increase their speeding
\npenalties.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo state Rep. Ed Gruchalla and assistant West Fargo police
\nchief Mike Reitan say the higher fines will be a deterrent to
\nhighway leadfoots.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0

\nJustin Belotti, who finished his senior season last fall.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Two other players also were accused of possessing steroids and
\namphetamines. Kenneth Watkins Jr. pleaded guilty in March to
\nmisdemeanor marijuana charges and served 10 days in jail.<\/p>\n

Medd earlier this month dismissed charges against Jon Goertz, and also
\nthose filed against Richard McConn, who wasn’t on the UND team.

\nargued that there were problems with a police search of the house
\nwhere the men lived.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve officials have been speaking
\nwith increased urgency about the need to provide more help for a
\nweak U.S. economy.<\/p>\n

That’s according to the minutes of their most recent meeting three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The minutes reveal that many members felt further support would be needed “fairly soon” unless the economy improved significantly. The minutes didn’t say what steps might be taken.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) – President Barack Obama says Mitt
\nRomney’s spending cuts would cripple schools even as his tax cuts
\nwould shower more breaks on millionaires.<\/p>\n

And he says Romney’s running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan, has already helped thwart efforts to rehire teachers laid off during the recession.<\/p>\n

In a rally at a high school in North Las Vegas, Nev., Obama said GOP
\nlimits on education spending are “unfair to our kids” and
\n“foolish for our future.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Differences between Mitt Romney and Paul
\nRyan on abortion and other hot-button social issues are on display.<\/p>\n

\u00a0For one thing, Ryan opposes abortion in cases of rape and
\nincest, while Romney would allow it in those cases, and if it would
\nsave the mother’s life.<\/p>\n

But Ryan is brushing aside the differences, telling a Pennsylvania TV station that if the Republican ticket wins in November, Romney will be the one setting policy.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) – A federal investigator says a coal
\ntrain that derailed in Maryland was going the authorized speed of
\n25 miles per hour with the engineer-in-training at the controls.
\nTwo 19-year-old college students were killed around midnight Monday
\nwhile sitting on a rail bridge in the historic section of Ellicott
\nCity as the train passed a few feet behind them.<\/p>\n

Their bodies were found buried in spilled coal.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – The photos that have emerged of Britain’s Prince
\nHarry cavorting in the nude with an unidentified woman in a VIP
\nsuite in Las Vegas last week apparently aren’t doing any harm to
\nhis image back home.<\/p>\n

A construction worker in London who was asked if Harry did anything wrong seemed offended by the question — and added, “I’d be proud of him if he were my son.”<\/p>\n

And the editor of a magazine for royal-watchers says Harry’s party-boy image is part of what people like about him.<\/p>\n

\u00a0But she says he might get a talking-to from his dad, Prince Charles.
