Mid-America Sports brief, 6/16/17

Sports

June 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith began his offseason lamenting a loss to Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Then he watched Kansas City drafted his heir apparent in the 1st round and cut one of his favorite options. To say it’s been a difficult few months would be an understatement, but Smith remains optimistic about the upcoming season.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon hit solo home runs and the Kansas City Royals picked up their fifth consecutive victory, defeating the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 Thursday night. The streaking Royals have been getting it done with power, clubbing 14 homers in this unbeaten stretch.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Keon Broxton and Eric Thames homered to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday night. Broxton drilled the first pitch he saw 489 feet into the left field seats to tie the game 2-2 in the second. It is the longest home run in Busch Stadium three’s history and the second-longest this season in the major leagues.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Sam Hornish Junior will drive three Xfinity Series races for Team Penske this summer. Hornish will drive the Number 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang at Iowa Speedway on June 24th and July 29th. He will also race Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 12th. His most recent Xfinity Series win came in 2016 while driving for Joe Gibbs Racing at Iowa.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:30 a.m. CDT

DEWITT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified two people whose bodies were found in an eastern Iowa house. Davenport television station KWQC reports that police say 51-year-old Brian Paul Glasz and 54-year-old Michelle Renee Glasz were found dead in their DeWitt home on Tuesday. They were husband and wife. Police say they plan to release the cause of death of the two, today (Friday).

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in northwest Iowa for the death of his estranged wife. A Woodbury County jury was in its second day of deliberation when it found 29-year-old Rogelio Morales, of Hubbard, Nebraska, guilty Thursday afternoon. Prosecutors say he killed 21-year-old Margarita Morales on April 19, 2015, in his car near a Sioux City residence.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Former star of “The Bachelor” Chris Soules has waived his right to a speedy trial and has requested that his trial be postponed. Soules is charged with leaving the scene of a deadly crash and faces up to five years in prison if he’s convicted of causing the April 24 crash that killed 66-year-old farmer Kenneth Mosher. The Des Moines Register reports that attorneys for Soules said Wednesday they need at least a 90-day extension to obtain items from prosecutors and schedule depositions.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities have charged a man who they say has been scamming churchgoers in several states by telling them he needed to get home because his parents had been killed by a roadside bomb in the Middle East. Court records say Alan Farha II is charged with theft in Linn County. Court records show convictions on similar accusations last year in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Nebraska man convicted of strangling death of wife in Iowa

News

June 15th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in northwest Iowa for the death of his estranged wife. A Woodbury County jury was in its second day of deliberation when it found 29-year-old Rogelio Morales, of Hubbard, Nebraska, guilty Thursday afternoon.

Prosecutors say he killed 21-year-old Margarita Morales on April 19, 2015, in his car near a Sioux City residence. Court documents say Morales told investigators a fight broke out when his wife told him she no longer wanted to be in a relationship and that she was seeing another man. Defense attorney Mike Williams said in his closing arguments that there’s no doubt Morales killed the woman but said Morales “is guilty of voluntary manslaughter, not murder.”
