Indian vets try to save rare rhino shot, dehorned

   GAUHATI, India (AP) -- Indian veterinarians are struggling to save the life of a rare rhinoceros that was shot and had its horn cut off after it wandered out of a flooded national park.
   The wounding of the one-horned rhino by poachers early Wednesday sparked outrage in the northeastern state of Assam. Footage of the bleeding rhino with its horn removed and a cut to its ear were broadcast on local television.
   The state's head wildlife warden Suresh Chand said the animal had fled the floods in the Kaziranga National Park for a highland across a busy highway where trailing guards lost track of it.
   An estimated 2,500 out of the world's 3,000 one-horned rhinos live in the park.

Court upholds El Reno man's murder conviction
May 21, 2013 13:38 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld the first-degree murder conviction and life without parole sentence of an El Reno man.

The court on Monday rejected several appeals by Thomas Twobabies -- including that he was not allowed to present a complete defense. Twobabies argued that prosecutors prejudiced him when they did not introduce at trial the statements Twobabies made to police in which he claimed self-defense and voluntary intoxication.

The court ruled that Twobabies had the opportunity to testify and present his defense and he chose not to do so.

The 29-year-old Twobabies was convicted in January 2012 of the December 2010 stabbing death of Neihhi Hamilton in El Reno.
