NATION IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Prosecution Rests Case Against Officer

After six days of conflicting and often inconclusive testimony, the prosecution wrapped up its case against a Miami policeman accused of killing a black motorcyclist last January. The six-member jury heard from 27 prosecution witnesses, including a police firearms instructor and five persons who said they watched Officer William Lozano, 30, aim his pistol and shoot Clement Lloyd, 23, as Lloyd drove toward him. The shooting sparked three days of racial unrest in Miami. A passenger on the motorcycle, Allan Blanchard, 24, died of injuries suffered in the ensuing crash. The trial is to resume Friday with defense witnesses.
