Judges hear adoption case
Man who claims to be adoptee's father wants trial to be stopped

TUESDAY,MAY5,2009
Associated Press
BLANTYRE, Malawi — Malawi's highest court heard arguments Monday on Madonnas bid to adopt a 3-year-old girl from the southern African country, as a dispute erupted over whether a man trying to stop the proceedings is the girl's father.
Madonna was not at Monday's hearing at the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, which was held in public after the judges reversed an earlier decision to hold a closed session.
The three judges adjourned after hearing from lawyers for the pop star and for two independent children's rights groups. The judges did not immediately set a date for the next session in the case, at which a decision was expected to be announced.
Madonna is fighting a lower court's decision that she cannot adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James because she had not been screened over time by Malawi authorities. The court said the rules were bent when Madonna adopted her son David from Malawi last year.
The pop star's Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, said he was "hopeful" the appeal would succeed, and

argued the lower court had relied on outdated law to block the girl's adoption.
A renowned Malawi constitutional expert, Modechai Mchaa, joined
Madonnà's legal team, arguing in court Monday that although the issue of residence was a factor, it would be unconstitutional if adhering to it negated
Johns Gulumba, lawyer for Eye of the Child, an independent group that opposes the adoption, argued that following the rules kept the doors closed to potential child abusers. He added foreign adoptions should be the last resort, "when all other options, like foster parenting in country of residence, have failed."
"certain rights of the child."
Madonna found the girl in 2006 at Kondanani Children's Village, an orphanage in Bumbwe just south of the commercial capital of Blantyre. It was the same year she adopted David, whom she found at another orphanage in the central Mchinji district.
On Sunday, a man told The Associated Press he was the girl's
"How can he claim he is the father when he hasn't been around all this time?" said Peter Baneti, who explained that the girl was put in the orphanage because there was no one to breast-feed the baby.
James Kambewa, a 24-year-old security guard, acknowledged he has never seen the child. According to court documents, she was placed in the orphanage when her 14-year-old mother died a few weeks after giving birth to her.
father, and has sought help from the Malawi Law Society to stop the adoption.
"I may be poor, but I think I have what it takes to raise a daughter," he said. "I will fight the adoption."
Madonna spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in an e-mail message she doesn't know whether Kambeba is the father.
Baneti said he had agreed to the adoption on behalf of the family, and that Kambewa was "just an opportunist."
The brother of the girl's mother told the AP the family does not know Kambewa.
"All I know is that Mercy has been in an orphanage since the day she was born." Rosenberg said.
But Kambeba said he now wanted to claim custody of Chifundo.

TELEVISION CBS, FCC'nipplegate' case may get another trial
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a federal appeals court to re-examine its ruling in favor of CBS Corp. in a legal fight over entertainer Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.
The high court on Monday directed the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to consider reinstating the $550,000 fine that the Federal Communications Commission imposed on CBS over Jackson's breast-baring performance at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The order follows the high court ruling last week that narrowly upheld the FCC's policy threatening fines against even one-time uses of curse words on live television.
In a statement, CBS said the Supreme Court's decision was not a surprise given last week's
ruling and expressed confidence the court will again find the incident was not and could not have been anticipated by the network.
Last year, the appeals court threw out the fine against CBS, saying the FCC strayed from its long-held approach of applying identical standards to words and images when reviewing complaints of indecency.
The appellate court said the incident lasted nine-sixteenths of one second and should have been regarded as "feeting." The FCC previously deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so "pervasive as to amount to 'shock treatment' for the audience." the court said.
The FCC appealed to the Supreme Court. The case had been put off while the justices dealt with a challenge led by Fox Television against the FCC's policy on fleeting expletives.
