Brian Hicks is on trial for the 2006 witness-murder of Kalonniann Clark who was killed in her home days before she was going to testify against him in an attempted murder case.

Denver (AP) -- A man accused of conspiracy to distribute cocaine
is asking a federal judge to dismiss the charges after Denver
police destroyed nearly nine pounds of cocaine. Authorities say the evidence was going to be used as evidence in the upcoming trial of convicted murderer Brian Hicks. Denver police told KCNC-TV they got
rid of the cocaine by mistake. Hicks was convicted in the murder of Kalonnian Clark, who was to testify against him in another case. His car was used in the killing of Denver Bronco Darrent Williams, though Hicks was in jail at the time.

The Digital TV Transition

Temporarily Unavailable - ID: 8708137

What You Need to Know

TV sets that currently receive programming through cable or satellite are not likely to be affected by the transition to digital. However, TV sets that rely on "over the air" broadcasting with an antenna (set-top or rooftop) to receive a signal will be affected by the cutoff of analog broadcasts in 2009. You will need to consider one of the following options:
  • Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box that plugs into an existing television. The boxes, which are expected to cost between $50 - 70 will be available for purchase in 2008. Beginning on January 1, 2008, U.S. households can request up to two coupons valued at $40 each. Each coupon can go toward the purchase of a single set-top converter box that will allow you to continue watching FREE "over-the-air" television on an analog set. CLICK HERE for more information.
  • Subscribe to a cable, satellite or telecommunications service provider if all desired local broadcast stations are carried by that service.
  • Purchase a new television set with a built in digital tuner. Any of these steps will ensure that "over-the-air" television consumers will continue to receive programming.
