Experts: Case of burned Texas boy problematic

CORRECTS TO JUDGE HAMILTON, NOT COLLINS IN SECOND SENTENCE - Don Willburn Collins waits to be placed into the custody of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office following a hearing at the 359th Judicial District Court with Judge Kathleen Hamilton on Thursday, March 6, 2014, in Conroe, Texas. Collins, now 28, accused of dousing Robert Middleton with gasoline and setting him on fire in 1998 when he was a teenager, can be tried as an adult for murder after the victim died from his burns nearly 13 years later, Judge Hamilton ruled Thursday. (AP Photo/ The Courier, Jason Fochtman) MANDATORY CREDITCONROE, Texas (AP) — Now that prosecutors have persuaded a judge that a Texas man accused of setting an 8-year-old boy on fire as a teenager can be tried as an adult for murder, securing a conviction in a case where the victim died 13 years after the attack could prove difficult, legal experts say.

(AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)DENVER (AP) — A legislative dispute in Denver pitting taxi drivers against emerging tech companies mirrors similar fights playing out across the nation.
