Mychal Bell's release on $45,000 bail came hours after a prosecutor confirmed he would np longer seek an adult trial for the 17-year-old. Bell, one of the teenagers known as the Jena Six, still faces trial as a juvenile in the December beating in this small central Louisiana town, "He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him," Rev. Al Sharpton said as Bell stood smiling next to him. District Attorney Reed Walters' decision to abandon adult charges means that Bell, who had faced a maximum of 15 years in prison on his aggravated second-degree battery conviction last month, instead could be held only until he turns 21 if he is found guilty in juvenile court. The conviction in adult court was thrown out this month by the state 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal, which said Bell should not have been tried as an adult on that particular charge. Walters had said he would appeal that decision. On Thursday, he said he still believes there was legal merit to trying Bell as an adult but decid- Saturday • Young Alumni Scholarship 5K and Kids 1K: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Alumni House, 155 S.

Carlton Turner Jr.'s lawyers had filed appeals to tie his case to a U.S. Supreme Court review of lethal injection procedures. Turner's execution had been seen as an indicator of whether lethal injections would continue in the nation's busiest death penalty state after justices agreed earlier this week to consider whether lethal injections in Kentucky were unconstitutionally cruel. The high court stopped the execution less than two hours before his execution warrant would have expired. son at the LaSalle Parish Courthouse in Jena, La., on Friday. crime.

Dave Divis said. King County sheriff's investigators used a cell phone signal to recheck a segment of the highway, State Patrol spokesman Jeff. Merrill said. On Thursday afternoon they noticed some matted brush, and below it they found her Honda Element, smashed on its side. "She looks very pale, very dehydrated. She didn't have a lot of cuts but had difficulty breathing," Merrill said. Rider was taken to a Seattle hospital. Her husband, Tom Rider, said she was "righting for her life," suffering from kidney failure and sores from lying in the same position for a week. The Maple Valley woman was last seen Sept. 19 after leaving her shift at a Fred Meyer grocery store in Bellevue. Her car tumbled about 20 feet down the ravine and lay buried below heavy brush and blackberry bushes. Rescuers had to cut the roof off to get her out. Tom Rider said he was sitting down to take a lie-detector test at the sheriff's office so officers could exclude him as a suspect in his wife's disappearance, when officers told him the car had been found. "I wanted to make sure they weren't focusing on me, that they were focusing on Tanya," he said. Troops kill 9 more in Myanmar chaos YANGON, Myanmar— Soldiers with automatic rifles fired into crowds of anti-government demonstrators Thursday, killing at least nine people in the bloodiest day in more than a month of protests demanding an end to military rule. Bloody sandals lay scattered on some streets as protesters fled shouting "Give us freedom, give us freedom!" On the second day of a brutal crackdown, truckloads of troops in riot gear also raided Buddhist monasteries on the outskirts of Yangon, beating and arresting dozens of monks, witnesses and Western diplomats said. Japan protested the killing of a Japanese photographer. Daily demonstrations by tens of thousands have grown into the stiffest challenge to the ruling junta in two decades, a crisis that began Aug. 19 with rallies against a fuel price hike then escalated dramatically when monks began joining the protests. With the government ignoring international appeals for restraint, troops fired into packs of demonstrators in at least four locations in Yangon, witnesses and a Western diplomat said. Protesters— some shouting "Give us freedom!"—dodged roadblocks and raced down alleys in a defiant game of cat and mouse with soldiers and riot police that went on for most of the day. Some 70,000 protesters were on the streets at the height of the chaos, though the total was difficult to estimate as different groups broke up and later reformed. Advertising 801 581.7041 Federal jury blames murders on Chicago mob defendants CHICAGO—Afederaljuryheld three aging mobsters responsible for 10 murders Thursday after an extraordinary trial that included colorful witnesses who exposed the seedy inner workings of organized crime in Chicago. Frank Calabrese Sr., 70; Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo, 78; and James Marcello, 65, were held responsible for murder, raising the maximum sentence each faces to life. Jurors deadlocked on a fourth defendant, Paul Schiro, 70. Marcello, described by prosecutors as •* ^r. leader of the Chicago Outfit, was held responsible for the June 1986 murder of Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, the Chicago mob's longtime man in Las Vegas and the inspiration for the Joe Pesci character in the movie "Casino." Expanded child health care likely to be vetoed by Bush .. WASHINGTON—Congress approved legislation Thursday that would potentially add 4 million children to a popular health care program, setting up a veto fight that President Bush probably will win but handing Democrats a campaign issue for next year's elections. Eighteen Republicans in the Senate lined up with Democrats in voting 67-29 to increase spending on the State Children's Health Insurance Program from about $5 billion to $12 billion annually. The vote was enough to override a promised Bush veto. But supporters in the House, which passed the bill Tuesday, are about two dozen votes shy of an override. Overall, spending for SCHIP would increase by double what President Bush recommended. Threatened students received alerts from Facebook, texts NEW YORK—When a masked freshman came to campus at St. John's University with what police said was a loaded rifle sticking out of a bag, the school alerted students via cell-phone text messages within 18 minutes. When a suicidal gunman -was reported to be on the loose at the University of Wisconsin, the school sent out mass e-mails and took out an ad on Facebook to warn students. Colleges around the country are applying the lessons of Virginia Tech and using high technology to get the word out fast in a crisis.
