Attempted murder case goes to trial in Linn County
Carl Bright of Cedar Rapids faces three attempted murder charges that will proceed after District Judge William Thomason overruled a dismissal bid. Bright, 33, claims he was arrested Dec 30 and argues the filing on March 1 violated the 45 day limit, but the judge ruled he was not under arrest until Jan 17 and the information was timely. Bright is a fugitive from an Arkansas charge and the trial is scheduled for Monday in Linn County District Court.

Veto of Capitol repairs disappoints legislators

Leaders say the Legislature can pursue fire safety upgrades and interior improvements, potentially via supplemental appropriations, with cost estimates to be reviewed by the Legislative Council next month. The council meeting coincides with formal adjournment procedures ending the 1994 session.
