The Supreme Court is taking up the question of whether the Ten Commandments can be displayed on government property.
(-------------)
[VO-NAT]
The court today made the surprise announcement that it will be hearing an appeal early next year involving displays in Kentucky and Texas.
In the Texas case, justices will decide if a Ten Commandments monument on state Capitol grounds is an attempt to establish state-sponsored religion.
In the other case, justices will decide if a lower court was wrong to bar the posting of the Ten Commandments in Kentucky courthouses.

Maverick Demarco Thomas, more commonly known as Maverick Muhammad, led a number of vigils after his wife's murder.
While prosecutors often said the case was a murder for hire, Maverick Muhammad maintained his innocence, and was not charged until yesterday.
The other suspect is identified as Malvester Dixon Jr., also known as Malvester Muhammad.
Both men face the same charges-- including conspiracy, murder for hire, and use of a firearm in the commission of a murder for hire.
