"2 men convicted in student's killing
Jordanian's body hasn't been found"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Two men charged with killing a Wayne State University graduate student were convicted of second-degree murder Friday in Macomb County Circuit Court.


The jury declined to convict Bashar Farraj, 28, of Detroit and Samer Fawaz, 30, of Dearborn of the more serious charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.


Police and Macomb County prosecutors said they believe the men killed Raed Al-Farah, 27, of Madison Heights. Al-Farah, a native of Jordan who was in the United States on a student visa, was studying for his second master's degree in business before he disappeared nearly two years ago. His body was never found."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SPOKANE -- A man and woman who had been accused of possessing stolen military classified documents were acquitted yesterday of all espionage charges against them.

Rafael Davila and his ex-wife, Deborah Cummings, faced charges of delivery or attempted delivery of documents relating to the national defense and disclosure of classified information, The Spokesman-Review reported.

After a 2 1/2-week federal jury trial, Cummings was found guilty of lying to investigators. That charge carries a maximum prison sentence of five years."
