The US Supreme Court is expected to deliver a ruling Wednesday over tough new restrictions on the widely used abortion pill mifepristone ordered by a Texas judge last week. The drug in question is used in around half of the abortions carried out in the country today and is widely viewed as the safest, most effective method of abortion in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
OZARK — After a two-hour delay because one juror failed to show up, the capital murder trial of Coley McCraney got underway Wednesday with opening arguments by the defense and prosecuting attorneys — and only 13 jurors.
“Don’t leave your common sense at the door,” Dale County Assistant District Attorney Eric Massey told the seven-woman, six-men jury in opening arguments Wednesday morning. The missing male juror had been one of 12 jurors and two alternates selected Tuesday afternoon after almost two full days of voir dire. “Let the DNA do the talking. Let the mud do the talking,” Massey said about testimony the jury can expect to hear during the trial.

One was leaving the car on Herring Avenue, a location about equidistant between the gas station and McCraney’s home at the time. One was leaving the semen that was ultimately tied to McCraney through DNA testing, Massey said.
Two men who had known the girls 20 years ago also testified about the events of the night of July 31, 1999 and separate conversations they had had with the girls before the girls had left to meet friends in Midland City.
