OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A federal appeals court says six people wrongly convicted in a 1985 slaying in southeast Nebraska should get a new trial in their lawsuit against the officials who prosecuted them.

The 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals said Monday that a jury should decide whether Gage County officials conspired to build the case against the six in the 1985 killing of Helen Wilson in Beatrice.

An initial trial in the lawsuit ended in mistrial in January.

The wrongly convicted individuals — known as the Beatrice Six — served a combined 77 years in prison before DNA testing cleared them in 2008.

The individuals had argued that Gage County investigators recklessly strove to close the case, rather than seek justice. The six also argued Gage County failed to properly train investigators.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A white supremacist has given jurors a Nazi salute after they convicted him of capital murder and other charges for killing three people at two suburban Kansas City Jewish sites. It took the jury of seven men and five women just over two hours to find Frazier Glenn Miller guilty of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges.

As the verdict was announced, Miller, said: “The fat lady just sang.” As jurors were leaving court, he raised his right arm in the Nazi salute and told them: “You probably won’t sleep tonight.”

He faces the death penalty. Sentencing proceedings are scheduled to begin Tuesday.

MEXICO, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri State Highway Patrol says funeral services will be held later this week for a trooper killed in a crash in northeast Missouri.

The patrol says 25-year-old James M. Bava died in the single-vehicle crash Friday after Bava observed a motorcyclist commit a traffic violation in Audrain County.

Colonel J. Bret Johnson said in a release Monday that visitation for Bava will take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday at Baue Funeral Home in St. Charles. The funeral service will be at 9:30 a.m. Friday at The Dardenne Presbyterian Church in Dardenne Prairie.

Gov. Jay Nixon said earlier that flags statewide will fly at half-staff on the day of Bava’s funeral. Flags already are being lowered at patrol facilities.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A Bellevue woman has been accused of sexually assaulting her teenage foster son.

The Bellevue Police Department says officers found the 46-year-old woman and the 17-year-old in a parked vehicle Thursday behind a department store. Officers say they suspected inappropriate contact between the two.

The woman was arrested Friday. She faces a charge of second-degree sexual assault of a protected person.

The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify victims of sexual crimes and is not reporting the woman’s name to protect the identity of the 17-year-old.

Police say the teen was placed in the woman’s care through an organization that provides foster services. He has since been placed into protective custody with the state’s Department of Health and Human Services.

HARRISONVILLE, Mo. (AP) — Authorities in western Missouri have arrested two people being sought by Oklahoma authorities.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says deputies arrested 31-year-old Richard Z. Holliday and 31-year-old Sheryl A. Stewart near Harrisonville on Sunday after receiving an anonymous tip.

Stewart was released to the U.S. Marshal Service. Holliday was being held Monday in the Cass County Jail.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 43-year-old Columbia man has pleaded guilty to robbing six banks and using a bicycle to flee.

In his plea Monday Shaun Christopher Becker admitted he robbed six banks in Columbia between November 2014 and January 2015. He also admitted that he used a bicycle as a getaway vehicle in each of the robberies.

Authorities found Becker after he had ditched his bike following the last robbery and was seen walking along the shoulder of the road.

Prosecutors with the office for the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri said he admitted committing the bank robberies to support a heroin addiction.

He faces up to 20 years in federal prison without parole and a fine up to $250,000.

HARVIELL, Mo. (AP) — A Poplar Bluff man is facing murder charges after a man’s body was found in the trunk of a car.

The Poplar Bluff Daily American Republic reports that 23-year-old Edward William Weaver is jailed without bond and does not have a listed attorney.

Butler County Sheriff Mark Dobbs says the victim has been identified as 48-year-old Norman Jones of Poplar Bluff. He was reported missing by relatives on Wednesday and had not been seen since Aug. 22. He owned the car in which his body was found.

A Butler County deputy found the car in a drainage ditch Thursday afternoon, then discovered the body in the trunk.

Police have not said what led them to Weaver.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The attorney for convicted killer Roderick Nunley has filed a new appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in an effort to halt his execution.

Nunley is scheduled to die Tuesday evening for killing 15-year-old Ann Harrison in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1989. The girl was abducted while waiting for a school bus, then raped and stabbed to death.

Defense attorney Jennifer Herndon initially appealed last week, arguing that the death penalty amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. She also has argued that a jury, not a judge, should have sentenced her client.

A new appeal, filed Monday, argues that Nunley’s constitutional rights are being violated due to the secrecy concerning Missouri’s execution drug. The state refuses to disclose who makes the drug or how it is tested.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A study that suggests a new strain of lice may be resistant to typical treatments comes as children are headed back to school, and some districts have loosened their attendance policies over students with the bugs.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that health experts say head lice aren’t a sign of poor habits, as the tiny pests prefer clean hair. But those who work at Lice Busters say the social stigma attached to the lice remains, that only those living in dirty homes get infestations.

A sample policy for districts by the Missouri School Boards’ Association says a student found with live head lice shouldn’t return to school for 24 hours to allow for treatment. But it says districts shouldn’t exclude otherwise healthy students from school if only eggs are found.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The 25-year-old son of Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has been cited for reportedly driving while intoxicated.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports Willson Nixon was pulled over around 3 a.m. Sunday after allegedly driving without turning on his headlights.

Columbia police cited him for driving while intoxicated after he allegedly hit a parked car while being pulled over.

Gov. Nixon’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment Monday.

Willson Nixon is the governor’s youngest son and pleaded guilty in June to driving with an excessive blood-alcohol content. He had restricted driving privileges when he was cited Sunday.
