Jury selection for the trial is slated to start October 18.

Three men—Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William Bryan— were charged with nine counts including felony murder and aggravated assault, according to a grand jury indictment in June....

Lasse Schone put Ajax ahead with a free kick after 13 minutes. Almelo's Simon Cziommer equalized 10 minutes later, also through a free kick, as an out-of-form Ajax settled for the draw. Last week Ajax lost the Dutch Cup final in a humiliating 5-1 defeat against PEC Zwolle. Other Dutch teams have won four straight championships, including PSV Eindhoven twice — but the 43-year-old Frank de Boer becomes the first coach to win four in a row....

The slain former prime minister’s Pakistan Peoples Party also disputed that claim, pointing the finger instead at figures within the government. Even Musharraf toned down previous statements from his own officials definitively assigning blame to Baitullah, and late last week he invited Scotland Yard to help with the investigation....
