Arkansas court says judge went too far on voter ID

The Arkansas Supreme Court tossed out a judge's ruling striking down the state's voter ID law on Wednesday, but stopped short of ruling on the constitutionality of the measure.
In a 5-2 ruling, justices vacated a Pulaski County judge's decision that the law violates Arkansas' constitution. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Tim Fox had struck down the law in a case that had focused on how absentee ballots are handled under the law, but justices stayed his ruling while they considered an appeal.
Fox also has ruled the law unconstitutional in a separate case but said he wouldn't block its enforcement during this month's primary. That ruling is being appealed to the high court.
Justices said Fox didn't have the authority to strike down the law in the case focusing on absentee ballots. They noted that there was no request before Fox in the case to strike down the law. |

A southern California businessman has pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud in connection with a kickback scheme involving military aircraft parts sold to The Boeing Company.
Federal prosecutors say that William Boozer of Hacienda Heights, California, conspired with a Boeing procurement officer in St. Louis to receive confidential financial information which he used to win government purchasing contracts from Boeing worth more than $1. 5 million.
The 59-year-old owner Global Dynamics International Inc. in Santa Ana, California, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of felony wire fraud involving 16 bids submitted between November 2009 and February 2013. Global Dynamics was awarded seven Boeing purchase orders worth $116,339 for the California company.
Boeing employee Deon Anderson, who allegedly was bribed by Boozer, awaits trial along with two other defendants. |

German court awaiting details of Gurlitt will

A German court says it's awaiting details of a will drawn up by Cornelius Gurlitt, the reclusive art collector who hoarded more than 1,000 artworks at his apartment and died this week.
Munich district court president Gerhard Ziel said Wednesday that Gurlitt left a will with a notary in the southwest region of Baden-Wuerttemberg, news agency dpa reported.
He said the court expects to receive the document next week and will then establish whether it was correctly filed and whether Gurlitt named heirs.
Gurlitt's spokesman isn't commenting on who might inherit the works.
But German officials say that any heirs are bound by a deal under which Gurlitt agreed that hundreds of pieces from the collection would remain in government hands while they are checked for a possible Nazi-era past.
