Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas A. Balmer, center, questions an attorney, feb. 15, 2014, during arguments heard at the University of Oregon School of Law in Eugene, Ore. He is flanked by Justices Rives Kistler and Martha Walters. The seven-member court heard arguments in two cases with students; State v. Hickman and Doyle v. City of Medford. The justices herd arguments that could reverse Jerrin Lavazie Hickman’s murder conviction based on two in-court witness identifications at his trial. After decades of evidence to the contrary, state courts, legislatures and police agencies are considering a fundamental shift in their treatment of testimony from eyewitnesses and the procedures used to prep those witnesses before trial.

FILE - This April 19, 2012 file photo shows a truck traveling along highway 14, several miles north of Neligh, Neb. near the proposed new route for the Keystone XL pipeline. The US is extending indefinitely the amount of time federal agencies have to review the Keystone XL pipeline, the State Department said Friday, likely punting the decision over the controversial oil pipeline until after the midterm elections. The State Department didn’t say how much longer it will grant agencies to weigh in, but cited a recent decision by a Nebraska judge that overturned a state law that allowed the pipeline's path through the state, prompting uncertainty and an ongoing legal battle. Nebraska’s Supreme Court isn’t expected to rule for another several months and there could be more legal maneuvering after that, potentially freeing President Barack Obama to avoid making a final call on the pipeline until after the election in November.
