...bankingest town in the U.S.," declares Herb Bowden, president of Sencore Inc., a manufacturer of electronic-testing equipment. The town's mayor is more precise. "Citibank," Mayor Rick Knobe says proudly, "moved us from a known regional entity to a newcomer on the national and international scale...

Finally, he developed a strong case that Bowden could not have committed...
...jury awarded Mrs. Bowden and her two young children $250,000 plus interest. This is believed to be the first time in the U.S. that civil damages have been awarded for a victim of a police killing without a criminal conviction beforehand.
