BREAKING NEWS

Defense rests in Nichols case Brian Nichols rested his insanity defense Monday without taking the witness stand to convince jurors in his murder trial that he is not in his right mind. Lead prosecuting attorney Kellie Hill told Superior Court Judge James Bodiford that the state would spend three days calling witness to rebut a psychologist's claim that Nichols suffers from a delusional disorder that made him think he was leading a "slave rebellion" against the justice system. The jury is expected to start deliberating next week after about six weeks of trial.

Aside from the presidential race, one election battle that’s getting a lot of attention is in South Dakota. Known as Initiative 11, this measure would make abortion a crime, except in the case of rape, incest or the health of the mother. Kelly Cobiella reports if it passes, its ramifications could go far beyond state borders. Also tonight: Dr. Jon LaPook has an important story about research into preventing prostate cancer. And Cynthia Bowers has the latest developments in the massive manhunt - that seems to now have ended - for Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew.
