Webber murder trial heads to deliberations in Winona
In a dramatic turn, jurors in the Bruce Webber first degree murder case will begin deliberations after final arguments. The case linked Webber, a Rockdale Illinois man, to the August 13 shooting death of Shirleen Howard in Winona. The defense sought acquittal while the state argued Webber acted beyond reasonable doubt. Evidence included ballistics matching a Siama .45 pistol, handwriting linking Webber to receipts and firearms cards, and hair analyses.

Pepper seeks faster action on age 70 work limit bill
Rep. Claude Pepper says he wants swift congressional action to pass amendments to the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act that would let most workers stay employed until age 70. A 7-2 Supreme Court ruling argued the law mainly encouraged hiring of 40 to 65 year olds, creating a loophole Pepper seeks to close. The measure, stalled in a House Senate conference, faces possible action after the new year.
