St. Louis police officer killed in off-duty accident

Wednesday, 27 March 2013 01:22 Published in Local News
Police in the City of St. Louis are mourning the loss of one of their own.

Sergeant Lucinda Miller was killed in an off-duty accident Monday night. Sergeant Miller had been using a tractor to pull her personal vehicle out of a ditch at her home. Police say the tractor rolled over, killing Miller.

Sgt. Miller joined the police department in 1996 and was promoted to sergeant in June of 2010. She also received an Award of Excellence in 2011.

Her funeral will be Saturday at Kutis Funeral Home in South St. Louis.

Miller is survived by her domestic partner, her daughter and five brothers.
ROME (AP) - Italy's highest criminal court has overturned the acquittal of Amanda Knox in the slaying of her British roommate and ordered a new trial.

The Court of Cassation ruled Tuesday that an appeals court in Florence must re-hear the case against the American and her Italian-ex-boyfriend for the murder of 21 year old Meredith Kercher.

Kercher's body was found in November 2007 in her bedroom of the house she shared with Knox and other roommates in Perugia, an Italian university town where the two women were exchange students. Her throat had been slashed.

Prosecutors alleged Kercher was the victim of a drug-fueled sex game gone awry. Knox and Raffaele Sollecito denied wrongdoing. An Ivory Coast man, Rudy Guede, was convicted of the slaying in a separate proceeding and is serving a 16 year sentence.

MO Senate issues subpoena for license documents

Tuesday, 26 March 2013 04:00 Published in Local News
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Senate has issued a subpoena compelling the state Revenue Department to hand over documents by April 2 about new state driver's licensing procedures.

The order was signed Monday by Republican Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey. It requires the department to produce documents to help determine whether the state is sharing people's personal information with the federal government or a private company.

Lawmakers began investigating after a southeast Missouri man filed a lawsuit. The lawsuit challenges the new requirement that documents such as birth certificates and concealed weapons endorsements be scanned into a state database when a person applies for a driver's license.

Revenue Department officials have denied during legislative hearings that personal information is being shared.
