(AP) — Two men have been sentenced to prison for killing another Lincoln man a few days after Christmas in 2012.

On Wednesday 24-year-old Miguel Castillo was given 55 to 70 years. He’d pleaded guilty to being an accessory to second-degree murder and aiding and abetting use of a firearm.

And Judge Paul Merritt Jr. gave 21-year-old Adrian Casares life in prison. He’d pleaded no contest to aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Castillo and Casares were convicted of killing Tyler Schoenrock on Dec. 30, 2012. Each man says the other shot Schoenrock.

Schoenrock’s body was found on a rural road outside of Lincoln.

The judge thought Casares and Castillo became angry with Schoenrock learned he’d been talking to law enforcement about them and their drug involvement.

(AP) — Authorities have decided to close all hearings, seal court files and make no further public comments about the case against a 9-year-old boy accused of shooting his 4-year-old brother in Hastings.

The decisions were announced in a news release from County Attorney Donna Fegler Daiss (deyes) after a closed hearing on Tuesday in Adams County Juvenile Court.

Last week a juvenile manslaughter charge was filed against the older boy. His name hasn’t been released.

Authorities say the boy fired a .22-caliber rifle bullet that struck the 4-year-old on April 18. The younger boy was pronounced dead later at a local hospital. Other family members were home when the shot was fired.

Authorities have said the rifle is owned by the boyfriend of the victim’s mother.

(AP) — Strong demand for pickup trucks and SUVs is helping the auto industry rebound from a rough winter.

Chrysler had its best April in seven years, boosted by a 52 percent gain in sales of Jeep brand SUVs. GM sales rose 7 percent, led by the Buick Encore small SUV and the Silverado pickup truck. Ford’s F-150 pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., posted a 7.4 percent gain.

Analysts are expecting an industrywide sales gain of at least 8.5 percent compared with last April. That would mark the best April for the industry since 2005.

There were some soft spots. Ford’s overall sales fell 1 percent in April, hurt by falling sales of smaller cars. At Chrysler, sales of its namesake brand dropped 21 percent while Dodge sales were flat.

(AP) — The Fremont City Council has decided to end bus service in the city this summer.

The council decided Tuesday not to apply for state and federal grants that provide most of the funding for the service.

Bus service will continue until July 1, when grant funding runs outs.

The council began considering whether to end the bus service after noting ridership declines for a couple years. The system carried just over 2,000 riders in the current year, which is down from nearly 2,500 riders in the 2011-2012 budget year.

Officials tried to vary the route but found little interest in the bus.

City staff plans to study other options for providing public transportation.

(AP) — Colorado’s marijuana experiment is threatened by the popularity of eating it instead of smoking it. Afraid consumers are eating too much weed, the state’s marijuana industry gathered with regulators and law enforcement Wednesday to brainstorm ways to prevent dangerous reactions from overconsumption.

The ideas under discussion include marking edible pot like ski slopes, a guide Coloradans are very familiar with. Weak marijuana products would have green dots, grading up to black diamonds for the most potent edibles.

Colorado already requires edible marijuana to be sold with a “serving size” of 10mg of THC, marijuana’s intoxicating chemical. The work group is considering how to increase consumer education after reports of consumers eating too much and having dangerous reactions.

(AP) — A handwritten note police discovered in Kurt Cobain’s wallet after his suicide disparages Courtney Love, the late Nirvana front man’s wife.

CBS News reports that the note was taken from Cobain’s wallet when police arrived at his home on April 8, 1994, after Cobain fatally shot himself. The note was never made public. CBS obtained it from the Seattle Police via a public information request.

The network reports that the undated note, apparently written by Cobain on stationery from San Francisco’s Phoenix Hotel, is written like a mock wedding vow. It references Love as Cobain’s “lawful shredded wife” who would be “siphoning” his money for drugs.

Cobain, who was 27 when he died, sold millions of albums with Nirvana and helped popularize the Pacific Northwest’s heavy, muddy “grunge” rock.
