Police in southeastern Minnesota are investigating after an infant’s body was discovered in linens from a St. Paul hospital.

The body of a full-term infant fell out of a bed-sheet Tuesday afternoon at an industrial laundry in the town of Red Wing.

Red Wing Police Chief Roger Pohlman says hospital workers had removed the body and linens from Crothall Laundry before his officers arrived. He declined to name the hospital but said his office is in contact with St. Paul police and the Ramsey County medical examiner.

Pohlman says the linens had been delivered to Crothall no longer than two days ago.

A judge is expected to finalize a $700,000 settlement between McDonald’s and members of Michigan’s Muslim community over claims a Detroit-area restaurant falsely advertised food as prepared according to Islamic law.

The hearing is set for Wednesday before Wayne County Circuit Judge Kathleen Macdonald. She’s overseen the case and refereed objections from outside groups since a preliminary deal was announced in January.

Ahmed Ahmed, the Dearborn Heights man who represents plaintiffs in the class-action, claims he bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at a Dearborn McDonald’s but found it wasn’t halal.

The settlement calls for distributing the money to Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, Dearborn’s Arab American National Museum and Ahmed’s lawyers.

Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni is among the objectors. He says the settlement doesn’t help those most affected.

A 42-year-old Platte County woman has denied allegations that she harshly disciplined her children.

Janelle Gertsch is scheduled to begin trial on June 18. She’s pleaded not guilty to five counts of felony child abuse that officials say occurred over three months last fall.

Gertsch and her live-in boyfriend, 44-year-old Larry Einspahr Jr., were accused of abusing her 12-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter. Officials described the abuse as excessive discipline.

Einspahr already has pleaded no contest to two counts of physically abusing the two children. His sentencing is scheduled for May 3.

Wicker says there is an “ongoing investigation” and that he wants to thank law enforcement officials for keeping the Capitol complex safe. An envelope addressed to Wicker’s office on Tuesday twice tested positive for Ricin.

Wicker says he and his wife, Gayle, appreciate “everyone’s thoughts and prayers.”

Three teens facing charges in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old Northern California girl who committed suicide after the attack appeared in court for the first time Tuesday.

The proceedings were not public, and lawyers involved in the case aren’t commenting.

The three 16-year-old boys are each charged with sexual battery, dissemination of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

Attorneys and family members of the defendants were seen entering juvenile court. Relatives of Audrie Pott, who killed herself after a humiliating photo of her on the night of the attack circulated, were also there.

Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Jaron Shipp told The Associated Press that he couldn’t comment or provide any information on the case because the boys are juveniles.

The Motion Picture Association of America is changing its rating system to better inform parents about violence in movies.

CEO Christopher Dodd announced the tweaks in Las Vegas Tuesday at the annual movie-theater convention, CinemaCon.

The White House has called on the movie industry to give parents better tools to monitor violence in media since the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

Dodd did not address the shooting directly but spoke generally about the need to help parents control what their kids see.

The new ratings system will include descriptions about why a movie received its ratings.

For example, the rating might cite “strong carnage” or “war violence.”

Prosecutors say a Wisconsin man who has admitted he killed his three young daughters was in control of his actions and decided that a “selfish desire for revenge” was worth more than his girls’ lives.

Jurors are weighing whether Aaron Schaffhausen was legally sane when he killed 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia in their River Falls home last July.

During closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor Gary Freyberg told jurors that Schaffhausen was in control of his actions, and that he is a mean, callous person — but not legally insane.

Defense attorney John Kucinski said earlier that Schaffhausen has a rare mental disorder, rooted in a deep dependency on his wife.

Schaffhausen has pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, but he maintains he’s not responsible.

The director of the Omaha Marathon says the bombing in Boston will make her more vigilant about security, but she doubts it will diminish the popularity of marathons.

Director Susie Smisek said Tuesday security for the Omaha race generally has been focused on keeping runners safe from vehicle traffic. She said other security threats will now get more scrutiny when the marathon is held Sept. 22.

Smisek said it will be important to “watch out for something that might not look right.”

Smisek said marathons have increased in popularity in recent years because more people are health conscious.

She said Boston will continue to be on runners’ minds for a while but that participation in marathons probably won’t decline.

The next marathon in Nebraska is May 5 in Lincoln.

Doctors say they removed a host of sharp objects from children and adults injured by the Boston Marathon explosions.

A doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital said they removed BB pellets and nails from children. Dr. David Mooney says there were nails sticking out of one little girl’s body.

Two children remain in critical condition at the hospital with serious leg injuries. Mooney said that tourniquets applied by emergency responders at the race saved the children’s lives.

More than 170 people were hurt by the blasts. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital also say they removed metal fragments from victims of the bombs.

Hospitals began releasing more information Tuesday about the victims’ injuries, including broken bones, amputated limbs and head injuries.
