Neb. man convicted of killing girl seeks release
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A man sentenced to life in prison for the beating death of his toddler daughter has filed a request to be released from prison. Germai Molina filed a petition for habeas corpus on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Lincoln, saying he is being illegally held. Molina’s plea for relief comes after twice being rejected on appeal by the Nebraska Supreme Court. The state’s high court first rejected Molina’s arguments in 2006 about the effectiveness of his trial lawyer. Last year, the high court rejected Molina’s contention that it had erred in denying his first appeal. Molina was convicted in 2004 of second-degree murder and felony child abuse in Grand Island for the 2003 beating death of his daughter, Diana Molina.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say a California man safely landed a crop duster in a cornfield near Grand Island after an engine problem. The Grand Island Independent says 40-year-old Donald Rose, of Imperial, Calif., made the emergency landing Tuesday afternoon. The Hall County sheriff’s department says the tower at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport northeast of Grand Island lost contact with Rose shortly after 1 p.m. and contacted the sheriff’s office to help find the plane. The plane was located in a cornfield. Rose walked out of the field after the landing. The plane sustained little damage. The plane is owned by Wilber Ellis Air in Prosser.

Herrera’s Homer Gives Rockies Fourth Straight Win
The Colorado Rockies have won four straight games for the first time since mid-June after last night’s 8-6 victory over the Houston Astros at Coors Field. The winning hit came from an unlikely power source, as Jonathan Herrera’s two-run home run, just his third of the season, broke a 6-6 tie in the seventh inning. In his first start as a Rockie since coming from Cleveland in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, rookie pitcher Alex White earned a no-decision, allowing five runs in six innings, though only three were earned. Seth Smith’s 478-foot home run in the fifth inning was the longest homer at Coors Field so far this season. The Rockies can finish a sweep of the Astros in today’s matinee in Denver, and ESPN Radio 1410 will have all the action with pregame coverage at 1:30 and the first pitch at 2:05.
Huskers Fall Workouts Continue
The Nebraska football team is now 10 days away from their first game of the 2011 season. Their fall workouts continued with a two hour full pad practice yesterday afternoon. Huskers head coach Bo Pelini told the media afterwords that spots on the two-deep depth chart are still very much up for grabs. “The competition is on and there are a lot of guys fighting for playing time right now, and we’ll see how it plays out,” Pelini said. “We’ve got plenty of time before we play a game and guys got to keep putting it on film if they want to play on Saturday.” Pelini also confirmed the departure of Lazarri Middleton, a defensive back who was a member of the recruiting class of 2009. Middleton, who did not appear in a game in two seasons, did not have his scholarship renewed.
