Less than a week into trial, a group of Sunset Hills homeowners lost their case in a directed verdict. The homeowners had claimed developer Jonathan Browne and his companies owed them for fraud and backing out of contracts to buy their properties.
The plaintiffs were unable to establish "the existence of a valid contract" on their breach of contract claim and didn't make their fraud case, either, stated Novus Equities Co. in its motion for a directed verdict. Judge Mark D. Seigel in St. Louis County Circuit Court entered a judgment for Novus on April 22.

IN a rapidly changing Islamic world, the Obama administration is weighing how best to talk with adversaries, such as the Taliban and, perhaps, Hezbollah. One model is the British process of dialogue during the 1990s with Sinn Fein, the legal, political wing of the terrorist Irish Republican Army. It led to breakthrough peace talks and settlement of a conflict that had been raging for more than a century.
In the case of the Taliban, the administration has repeatedly stated that it is seeking a political settlement of the war in Afghanistan, rather than a military one. That sometimes seems hollow, when more than 100,000 U.S. troops are in combat. But, it got more definition last month from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who opened the doors wider for dialogue.

Appeals dismissed for lack of final, appealable orders. The trial court dismissed appellants' complaint for failure to provide an affidavit of merit pursuant to Civ.R. 10(D)(2). A dismissal for failure to comply with Civ.R. 10(D)(2) operates as a failure other than on the merits and is without prejudice; the trial court's dismissal order also stated that the case was dismissed without prejudice. Because the dismissal order was without prejudice, it did not constitute a final, appealable order. The denial of appellants' motion for relief from judgment under Civ.R. 60(B) also was not a final, appealable order because the judgment from which appellants sought relief was not a final, appealable order.

Then there is the case of David Nelson who was convicted in Portland, Maine in 1979 of strangling and stabbing companion, Raymond Hogan, 62, to death in a hotel room. Sentenced to life in prison, he was paroled 10 years later in 1989, after which he relocated to Palm Beach Gardens and began living with his 65-year-old mother, Natalie Babcock. On Sept. 26, 1991, friends and neighbors grew concerned after they hadn't seen or heard from Babcock for three-four days, and the police were called in. She was later found dead in her recliner, having been both stabbed and suffocated. According to statements made by friends to police, Babcock had grown increasingly fearful of her son, even changing the door locks at one point after he had twice stolen her car and swiped $150 from her purse; in...
