George Zimmerman’s not guilty plea on a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin was accepted Tuesday afternoon at Sanford, Fla., court arraignment.

The testimony tracks with news reports that Obama's campaign had suspicions about Edwards and Hunter early on, and were also astonished that Edwards sought to angle his way into the Attorney General's job, or even the vice presidential slot. It never came close to happening.

The arraignment of five Guantanamo prisoners accused of plotting the September 11 attacks got off to a rocky start on Saturday when the defendants removed their earphones and refused to listen to a translation of the judge's questions.

Was Trayvon Martin circling George Zimmerman's vehicle before the neighborhood watch volunteer and the unarmed teenager engaged in their now-infamous -- and tragic -- scuffle?

John Davis, a former personal assistant to John Edwards, testified Thursday about answering a knock on his hotel door and being told by a campaign videographer that she and Edwards were in love.

A not guilty plea has been entered on behalf of a 22-year-old man jailed in the brutal sex attacks and hammer slayings of a Las Vegas mother and her daughter. Bryan Devonte Clay Jr. was not asked to enter his own plea.

The wife of a former aide to John Edwards rebuffed questions Tuesday about whether she had any incentive to lie to hurt the former presidential candidate. "Sir, I'm here to tell the truth about my experiences, about my life," Cheri Young said in response to one of Edwards' defense lawyers. "It was a lie when we accepted paternity for your client and that is why we are here today."

The wife of a former campaign aide for John Edwards takes the stand Monday in a federal court in North Carolina where she is expected to detail her role in helping conceal the one-time Democratic presidential hopeful's affair with a videographer.

Four admitted terrorists cooperated with prosecutors in the trial of Adis Medunjanin, and their testimony provided an unusually human look at what drew them to Al Qaeda.

A judge on Friday denied a prosecutor’s request to bar lawyers from making public comments in the case of George Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
