Man ruled incompetent in murder case loses bid
Kenneth Curtis, 32, previously deemed unable to stand trial for the estranged girlfriend Donna Kalson’s murder, loses a second bid to dismiss charges. Judge John Ronan says prior incompetency rulings and 1989 release do not bar prosecution, noting ongoing annual psychiatric reviews and Curtis’s later college records. Curtis earned A’s and B’s in college while forums on his competency remain unresolved.

Bids Drop Sharply for Western Gulf Oil Lease Sale
New Orleans AP reports a sharp decline in bids for the latest offshore federal lease auction in the western Gulf of Mexico. A total of 486 bids for 402 tracts were submitted, far below the 1,224 bids for the August 1997 sale. High bids reached 616.2 million then, while March results show far less enthusiasm amid lower oil prices and tighter credit.
