Drug dealer claims CIA condoned Nicaragua drug sales
Ricky Ross said the U S government condoned if not supported the Nicaraguan contras in cocaine distribution to fund the rebels. His lawyer argues the CIA’s involvement warrants setting aside his narcotics conviction in San Diego, amid calls for full investigation and possible new trial.

Sleepy juror dismissed from Simpson civil trial
An alternate juror who dozed through scientific testimony was dismissed from O J Simpson's civil trial in Santa Monica, days before the defendant could testify. The juror, a 19 year old white college student, slept during most of the case and was removed after defense complaints. Judge Fujisaki quipped the testimony was affecting jurors and apologized. Simpson could testify as early as next Friday, while his criminal trial ended with acquittal last year.
