Serbia appeals court overturns verdict for Milosevic’s widow
Updated 9:48 am CDT, Tuesday, March 26, 2019 BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — A Serbian appeals court has overturned a one-year prison sentence for the widow of former strongman Slobodan Milosevic and ordered a retrial. Mirjana Markovic is believed to be living freely in Moscow since 2003 despite the legal proceedings against her in Serbia. A Belgrade court last year convicted Markovic of abusing her position in 2000 when she helped allocate a state-owned apartment to her grandson's nanny. But the Appeals Court said on Tuesday that the verdict was flawed and that a new trial must be held. Markovic had also been sought for questioning over the killing of Milosevic's political opponents during his autocratic rule in the 1990s. Milosevic was ousted from power in 2000. He died in 2006 while on a genocide trial at a U.N. tribunal in The Netherlands. … [Read more...] about Serbia appeals court overturns verdict for Milosevic’s widow

Trump to tap federal appeals court Judge Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court
Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings. SUBSCRIBE WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday will nominate Brett Kavanaugh, a federal appeals court judge in Washington to succeed Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh serves on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which often rules on major challenges to federal laws and policies. If confirmed, he would make the Supreme Court solidly conservative, joining Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch — providing a five-vote majority. He would be sure to join the conservatives more often than Kennedy, who sometimes voted with the court's liberals in cases raising hot-button social issues. Kavanaugh was nominated to the appeals court by President George W. Bush and confirmed in 2006 by a vote of 57-36. Four Supreme Court justices have come from the D.C. Circuit in recent years … [Read more...] about Trump to tap federal appeals court Judge Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court
