CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. (AP) — The trial of a Colorado man accused of killing his fiancee and burning her body on his ranch has begun. A jury was seated Friday for 33-year-old Patrick Frazee's trial, and lawyers on both sides presented their opening arguments later in the day.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho prison inmate says a doctor with the private medical care company Corizon Health told him to wash and reuse his disposable urinary catheters in a communal prison sink. Some inmate advocates say such complaints are common even though reusing the catheters can lead to health problems. The Idaho Department of Correction says the inmate's claim is true. Corizon Health officials declined to speak about his case but say it's their policy not to re-use disposable catheters.
