A Lincoln man has been sentenced to two years of probation for a crash last July that killed a 48-year-old motorcyclist. Jeffrey Ramirez, 68, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide earlier this year for causing Robert "Bob" Finley's death unintentionally while failing to yield to the right of way or careless driving.

Both sides rested Thursday in a defamation case over claims that the Nebraska Republican Party made in back-to-back flyers in a race for a state legislative seat in 2020 between two members of the party. When the first flyer landed in Janet Palmtag's mailbox, saying she "broke the law & lost her real estate license," Palmtag said she called up Ryan Hamilton, then-executive director of the state GOP and asked him to fix it. She had never lost her license, and she had no discipline on her license.
