A Jordanian criminal court says it has postponed a verdict in the case of a powerful former intelligence chief on trial for alleged embezzlement of public funds, money laundering and abuse of office.
Presiding judge Nashaat Akhras told Mohammed al-Dahabi in court Sunday that his verdict will be pronounced Nov. 11, without giving a reason.
Al-Dahabi ran the General Intelligence Department between 2005 and 2008.
He faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted.
He was arrested in February, when inspectors from the Central Bank of Jordan suspected transactions worth millions of dollars had gone through his bank account.
The rare case against such a high profile official is meant to show Jordan's seriousness in efforts to tackle graft and corruption — a demand voiced in recent street protests.

Lawyer: Man will repay misbegotten bank money
A Philadelphia-area man who allegedly spent more than $67,000 deposited into his bank account in error will apply for admission to a program for first-time offenders.
The attorney for Joseph Bucci says the Bensalem man was prepared to repay $10,000 of the missing money and would repay the rest of the money.
Bucci waived a preliminary hearing Thursday in Bucks County court. Attorney Michael Parlow says Bucci has sold many of the items he bought with the money, including a car.
Parlow tells the Bucks County Courier Times he'll seek admission for Bucci into a diversionary program that would allow him to have his record expunged.
Police say Bucci used the misbegotten money for airline tickets, a dog and other expenses besides the car.

German court rules against Microsoft in patent battle
A court in Germany ruled Wednesday that Microsoft infringed two patents held by Motorola Mobility, in a case that could affect sales of its popular Xbox 360 console and the Windows 7 operating system.
The patent spat between the two companies centers on technology owned by Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., which Google is in the process of buying for $12.5 billion.
Microsoft and Apple Corp. have filed a complaint with the European Union's competition watchdog alleging Motorola unfairly limited rivals from using its patents by demanding exorbitant fees.
In Wednesday's ruling, the state court in the southern city of Mannheim upheld Motorola's complaint on the patent breaches and declared Microsoft Corp. liable for unspecified damages.
The court also ordered Microsoft to remove all products that infringe the patents from the German market, including its Xbox 360 console and the Windows 7 operating system.
But both parties have seven days to appeal before the verdict comes into force, and Microsoft spokesman Thomas Baumgaertner said the company plans to do so. Should Motorola want the verdict enforced before a final appeals ruling is issued, it would have to deposit several tens of millions of dollars as a legal security, the court said.

San Francisco Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
The Law Offices of Dennis R. Wheeler
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is more commonly known as "wage earner's bankruptcy" or "consumer reorganization" bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy covers areas different from Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and unlike Chapter 7 it does not involved the liquidation of non-exempt assets. Rather, this chapter requires a consumer to use his/her future income to repay as much of their bankruptcy as possible with a plan of three to five years. A bankruptcy court would be supervising their plan and the debt which remains alongside the plan completion is subject to discharge. This type of bankruptcy is good for people who are working with a regular income and is able to pay portions of their debts.
Closing statements: The Law Offices of Dennis R. Wheeler is a San Francisco, California, law firm focused on handling cases involving bankruptcy. The firm is a top contender in the field of Chapter 7 & 13 bankruptcy with their head attorney's expertise in the practice area. Mr. Dennis Wheeler can assist his clients in determining whether bankruptcy is the right choice for you, and which chapter under the Bankruptcy code would provide the most relief.

British arms-to-Iran suspect faces Texas court
A retired British businessman is to appear in a federal court in El Paso after being extradited last week on charges that he tried to sell missile batteries to Iran in 2006.
Christopher Tappin turned himself in Friday after fighting extradition from the United Kingdom for two years. Two other men were sentenced in 2007 to 20 and 24 months in federal prison for their roles in the scheme.
The 65-year-old Tappin was denied a final appeal of his extradition last month and delivered to El Paso by federal marshals. His deportation sparked a debate in the U.K. over whether British and American citizens are treated equally under the two countries' extradition treaty.
Don Cogdell, Tappin's attorney in Texas, said he plans to aggressively push to have Tappin granted bail.

Supreme Court 101 in session at high court
George Mason University law student Matthew Long still has three months of schoolwork before graduation, but this week he and two classmates had a case before the Supreme Court.
The group of students is part of a new class dedicated to Supreme Court work at the Fairfax, Va., school. Nationwide, more than a half dozen law schools offer similar courses.
The students don't get to argue the cases. They aren't even lawyers yet. But students participating in the so-called Supreme Court clinics get to do everything else: research issues, draft briefs and consult with the lawyer actually presenting the case to the high court.
"We're all very much aware that you can go your entire legal career without ever being on a case before this court, and it's unbelievable that we'd have this experience as law students," Long, 26, said as he stood outside the Supreme Court after Monday's arguments in a case about a man in prison for murder in Colorado and time limits involved in his case.
Stanford University started the first Supreme Court clinic for students in 2004 and is still involved in the most cases. But schools with clinics now include Harvard University, Yale University, the University of Virginia and the University of Texas. In the past three years, clinics report that students have been involved in about 1 out of every 6 cases argued before the court. This week, students are participating in two of the court's cases.

Driver acquitted in deadly Megabus crash in NY
A bus driver was acquitted Tuesday of homicide charges in the deaths of four passengers killed when his double-decker crashed into an overpass in upstate New York.
A judge announced the verdict after a non-jury trial for 60-year-old John Tomaszewski of Yardville, N.J. Tomaszewski would have faced up to four years in state prison on each of four counts of criminally negligent homicide. He sat with his head bowed and showed no reaction as Onondaga County Court Judge Anthony Aloi read the verdict.
"It was a tragic accident and four people lost their lives," Tomaszewski said as he left court. "It's something I'll have to deal with the rest of my life."
There were 29 passengers on the Megabus when the top of the bus hit the railroad bridge in Salina, just outside Syracuse, early on the morning of Sept. 11, 2010.
Tomaszewski was driving from Philadelphia to Toronto with a planned stop at the Regional Transportation Center in Syracuse when he missed an exit from Interstate 81 and ended up on the parkway instead.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Bednarksi said during the trial that Tomaszewski was using a personal GPS device as he tried to find his way to the bus station and passed 13 low-bridge warning signs, some with flashing yellow lights, before the wreck.
