    Barnett Case to be Overseen by Special Prosecutor
    2007-06-30 15:36:33
    In the latest twist to the Nick Barnett bar-fight case, the husband of Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider could be a potential witness, the Green Bay Press-Gazette has learned.  Because of that, Schneider said Friday she would appoint a special prosecutor to handle a possible battery case against Barnett, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Schneider said Friday that her husband, Kory, works for an area dealership that has sold cars to Barnett.  In addition, her husband played with Barnett in a June 18 charity softball game at Fox Cities Stadium.  “And at that game, my husband overheard Mr. Barnett on a phone making a comment about the case, and depending on what his defense in the case is going to be, that could be an issue,” said Schneider. Because of her husband lurking as a potential witness and with his past dealings at the dealership, Schneider said the potential conflicts make it necessary to seek a special prosecutor.  Schneider s

    Burundi independent radio director "missing" after being summoned by CNDD-FDD prosecutor
    2006-12-11 12:59:00
    From The Independent Federation of JournalistsIFJ Calls for End of Intimidation Campaign Against Independent Journalism in Burundi The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) today called on the government of Burundi to put an end to the repression of journalists after the government has stepped up its campaign of intimidation against journalists who have issued critical reports of an attempted coup in the country. Three journalists have been jailed and four others summoned by the prosecutor in the capital city of Bujumbura in less than two weeks in relation to reporting they did about an attempted coup in the country. Corneille Nibaruta, director of radio station Bonesha FM, was summoned to the prosecutor's office on 1 December but never arrived there. He has since gone missing, colleagues said. The three imprisoned journalists will appear before the prosecutor on Wednesday. The latest wave of arrests and summons of journalists is related to reports in private media that the government arranged a coup attempt that it has claimed it foiled. On 29 November, the director of the radio station Isanganiro, Matthias Manirakiza, was jailed for allegedly "broadcasting information which could disturb public and security order". The accusation stems from a report aired on his radio station on August 29, 2006, on the imminent attack of the presidential palate and the residence of Hussein Rajabu, president of the ruling party, by elements of the police force. The IFJ first heard of the attempts to intimidate journalists after the editor-in-chief of Radio Publique Africaine (RPA), Serge Nibizi, and the journalist Domitille Kiramvu were summoned by the prosecutor on November 22 and arrested for allegedly threatening state security and broadcasting information on a case under judicial investigation. Three other journalists of RPA have been questioned and released. "This repression of independent journalism is unacceptable and we are calling on the government to put an end t
