GRAPHIC=NONE The Supreme Court gives police

officers protection from lawsuits that
result from high-speed car chases

ENG#=4 VO-NAT

VO-NAT This comes after a Georgia

teenager was run off the road and
paralyzed during a chase caught on
camera.

The court sided eight to one with
the former Sheriff's deputy, who rammed
the fleeing car on a rain-slicked road
in 2001.

The 19-year-old was paralyzed
from the incident.

The court ruled that officers do
not have to stop chasing a driver when

they think that other people could be
hurt.

It also said that officers should
take measures to stop the car without
putting themselves at risk of civil
rights lawsuits.

Football analyst and former Cowboys
coach Jimmie Johnson was selected for
jury duty but he managed to get out of
it.

Johnson told the judge that he

would like to be excused because he was
scheduled to take Bill Parcells

Amazingly, the judge let him off
the jury duty hook and excused him.

Pelicans vs. Avalanche The Avs got it started in the :00 bottom of the first. With no outs

Tommy Manzella hits line drives down
the first base line and drives home
Josh Flores from second to make it
1-to-nothing Avs.

It stayed that way until the Avs
loaded the bases in the third. Ole
Sheldon grounds one up the middle. Two
runs score on the play as Eric King and
Flores score on the play to push the
advantage to 3-to-nothing.

Bases get full again later in the
inning, this time Mark Ori rips one to
right field and Eli Iorg scores on the
play to make it 4-to-nothing Avs with
still only one out. *CG final Myrtle Beach
