CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Drazen Zlovaric and Martynas Bareika each scored 20 points to lead Chattanooga to a 108-78 rout over Reinhardt on Friday.
   Farad Cobb had 14 points and Alex Bran added 12 for the Mocs (3-8), who ended a four-game losing streak.
   Chattanooga used a strong first half to pull away early, going on an 8-0 run that was capped by Bareika's jumper to give the Mocs a 35-15 lead with 5:53 left in the first half. Chattanooga went into halftime with a 60-33 lead.

Man facing extradition for murder claims innocence
June 17, 2013 20:24 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- A former U.S. Marine facing extradition to the Philippines on double murder charges says he is innocent.

Timothy Kaufman has been in jail since his arrest in April at business near his grandfather's Albany-area home. The 35-year-old from Knoxville, Tenn., is one of three men charged by Philippine authorities with killing a retired Northern Ireland police officer and his girlfriend in 2011.

Authorities claim it was a premeditated killing in an area known for its sometimes-seamy club scene.

In a handwritten letter sent to the media from jail, Kaufman says he would never do something as "heinous and stupid" as killing the couple. He says he left the country after the killings because he feared for his safety.

An extradition hearing is scheduled for June 25 in Albany federal court.
