Court narrows Sam Weems disbarment to three years
The Arkansas Supreme Court upheld the disbarment of former 17th District Prosecutor Sam Weems but limited the period to three years starting November 14, 1973. The ruling allows Weems to apply for readmission in 1976 subject to the Bar Examiners’ fitness review. The decision, written by Special Associate Justice Charles M. Conway, notes serious charges but adjusts the judgment due to circumstances.

Stormy Oklahoma thaw begins after deadly weekend blizzard
Oklahoma braces for a thaw as 40 degree temperatures arrive, melting foot-deep snow from a weekend storm. Central and western counties logged 3 to 12 inches with drifts up to four feet, crippling roads in Tahlequah Vinita Coweta and Checotah while Tulsa saw light snow. Police report cars in ditches and widespread stranded traffic as highways close or slow, with I 40 and I 35 reopening or bracing for more bad conditions while crews clear turnpikes and highways across the state.
