Homicide case links Topeka arrest and Cosby trial outcomes
Homicide suspect arrested in Topeka while jurors acquitted Cosby of voluntary and involuntary manslaughter in Walker's death. The 1997 stabbing followed a party ejection at Colony Woods where Walker scuffled, then shoved a woman before a knife was drawn. Cosby testified Walker choked him. Cosby admitted stabbing Walker several times. Police describe differing circumstances among witnesses and note Cosby involvement at Jefferson Commons. Martin's death, the second family tragedy, recalls a 1993 arson loss and ongoing legal history.

Polls show Bush’s approval sliding amid war weariness, with public splits over troop levels and a June 30 power transfer in doubt. Militia surrounds Najaf mosque as escalation looms and experts question administration grip.
