New Yorker gets 25 to life for the murder of KU grad
David Jamison, convicted in the 1999 stabbing death of KU graduate Amy Watkins, received the maximum prison term of 25 years to life on June 7.
Justice Michael R. Juillet of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York, announced the sentence after he read details of Jamison's criminal past. The court records, which had been sealed until that time, listed at least four other robberies. The file also contained an order of protection requested by Jamison's girlfriend that was issued one month before the murder.
The Watkins family expressed gratitude for the sentence.
Felix Rodriguez, a second man charged in the murder, will stand trial later this month.

Police discontinue search for suspect in carjacking
LOCALNATION&WORLD
By Julie Carter writer@kansan.com
Police officers are no longer searching for the vehicle or suspect in Saturday morning's reported car jacking at Clinton Lake State Park, said Lt. Kathy Tate of the Douglas County Sheriff' s Office.
Tate said that Christopher Redburn, a 20-year-old Lawrence resident, was using a pay phone by the park's entrance at 9:30 a.m. to call a friend and saw a Hispanic male pacing near Redburn's 1990 white Dodge Omni.
When Redburn hung up the phone and returned to his vehicle, the man then approached him, displayed a black automatic handgun, pressed the gun into his hip and forced him into the passenger's seat. Tate said.
According to the police report, the suspect left the park, located at 798 N. 1415 Rd., and drove toward Kansas City, Mo.
The suspect then stopped the car on Interstate
29 and told Redburn to exit the vehicle. Redburn was picked up along the interstate by an unidentified couple who drove him to a Kansas City, Mo., bus station, Tate said.
When he arrived at the station at 1100 a.m., Redburn called the police in Kansas City, Mo., who then attempted to locate the suspect and vehicle.
Because the crime took place in Douglas County, the police told Redburn he must return to Douglas County to file a police report.
No arrests have been made in this case, but Tate said officers were investigating certain aspects of the case.
"We are no longer looking for a Hispanic male suspect or the vehicle," Tate said. Tate would not further comment on the investigation.
Redburn could not be reached for comment.

Terrorist sentenced to life
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A terrorist convicted in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa was sentenced to life in prison without parole Tuesday after a jury couldn't agree on a death sentence.
The jury deliberated for five days over the fate of Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al'Owhali, 24, who had confessed to his role in the Aug. 7, 1998, attack on the embassy at Nairobi, Kenya, that killed 213 people.
One other defendant, Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, also could face the death penalty. His penalty hearing is scheduled to follow Al-Owhail's after a break of several days.
Al'Owhali's life was spared one day after Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh became the first person executed by the federal government since 1963. Under a 1996 federal law, prosecutors can seek the death penalty in terrorist murder cases.
"We the jury do not unanimously find that the
oath sentence is appropriate," the jury decided.
"We understand that the consequence of this is that Al-'Owhail will be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of release."
There was no exact breakdown of the jury vote. None of the jurors was available to discuss their deliberations.
A!O'whali, 24, of Saudi Arabia, rode in the truck used in the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi before leaping out and hurling stun grenades at guards.
He then ran for his life as the truck exploded. In addition to the 213 people killed, thousands were wounded.
Eleven other people were killed in a simultaneous bombing in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Mohamed, 27, of Tanzania, helped build the bomb used there.
The two other men convicted, Wadih El-Hage, 40, of Arlington, Texas, and Mohamed Sadeek Odeh, 36, of Jordan, face life in prison. when they are sentenced.
Bush courts European allies
The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain — President Bush opened his first European trip on the defensive yesterday as European allies rejected his stand on global warming and opposed his plans for a missile defense system.
The president spoke in a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
Bush is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time Saturday in Slovenia. He will offer "a strong normal relationship with America."
"Russia is not the enemy of the United States," Bush said, defending his position to abrogate the two nations' Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in order to build a missile defense shield for the United States.
Bush was behind closed doors with Aznar when the European Union served notice from Brussels, Belgium, that U.S. allies rejected Bush's new initiatives on climate change.
Bush said the treaty was flawed, unrealistic and not based on sound science.
Bush meets his critics Thursday at the European Union. "I come to the conference believing that every leader is sincere about his desire to clean the world and so are we," he said. "We have a different approach, but we
They urged Bush to change his mind and back the Kyoto treaty on global warming.
Aznar opened the press conference on a light note, teasing Bush about his Spanish.
The two leaders spoke side by side at the prime minister's official residence.
Bush emphasized the United States' great and enduring interests in Europe.
Confronting passionate European opposition to capital punishment, which he favors, Bush said that a majority of Americans believe it deters crime.
Bush recognizes that many Europeans disagree.
"There is so much more that unites us than divides," he said. "I refuse to let any issue isolate America from Europe."
Pledging to help Spain combat its serious problem with terrorism, Bush returned to the theme that promises to echo throughout his five-day, five-nation trip.
Aznar said that Spain has abolished the death penalty and that he personally is opposed to capital punishment.
He said that the United States and her allies "must not yield, must not waver in the face of terrorist activity."
Bush argued again for exploring a missile defense shield, which many overseas allies fear will trigger a new arms race.
"I realize it is going to require a lot of consultation," he said. "But I am willing to listen."
Motorists may be stopped between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. today and tomorrow in Lawrence by the Kansas Department of Transportation to complete a traffic survey.
Surveys to be given during local two-day traffic stops
The survey began yesterday and is designed to determine roadway needs and long-term planning in Lawrence based on travel patterns, the Department of Transportation said.
Local law enforcement and Kansas Highway Patrol officers will help control traffic.
"We are aware of the difficulties of stopping traffic. Because we are not asking the questions at the time of the stop, the delay will just be quick enough to hand the driver a card and wish them a good day," said KDOT's Ron Kaufman.
KDOT has prepared 100,000 surveys and hopes for a 20 percent return. Motorists who return one will receive a free Kansas highway road map.
Motorists passing through more than one survey point are asked to only complete one card per trip.
Woodberry maintains his innocence in two charges
Steve Woodberry, a former KU basketball player, pleaded not guilty to charges of domestic battery and criminal damage yesterday.
Woodberry, who played from 1990 to 1994, was arrested at 5:15 p.m. Friday, June 1, at a Lawrence car wash.
Sgt. Mike Patrick said Woodberry pushed girlfriend Stephanie Dyer of Olathe into the driver's side door of her Mazda 626, causing two dents that totaled $400 damage, and then choked her.
Dyer did not seek emergency medical treatment.
Woodberry's next court date is June 25.
