with his daughter when the boy was killed.You cant be in two places at the same time, Siegel said.Hillary was the head soccer coach at Clarkson U

CANTON, N.Y. -- Surveillance videos show that a former college soccer coach stalked his ex-girlfriends 12-year-old son just before the boy was killed in 2011, a prosecutor told a judge Monday.Oral Nick Hillary hunted Garrett Phillips in the half hour before the boy was strangled in the apartment Phillips shared with his mother, Tandy Cyrus, according to Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick.Though Hillarys supporters have accused authorities in this largely white community of unjustly prosecuting a black man, Fitzpatrick said during his opening statement in Hillarys second-degree murder trial that the evidence against the Jamaica-born ex-coach is conclusive.I want you to label him for exactly what he is: the murderer of a helpless 12-year-old boy, because he couldnt stand that fact that he caused the breakup with Tandy, said Fitzpatrick, who is helping his counterpart in St. Lawrence County with the prosecution.Defense attorney Norman Siegel argued that the prosecution lacks physical evidence. Siegel, the former director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said Hillary was home with his daughter when the boy was killed.You cant be in two places at the same time, Siegel said.Hillary was the head soccer coach at Clarkson University at the time of the killing. He and his teenage daughter had lived with Cyrus and her two sons until the relationship ended in summer 2011. When the boy was killed, Hillary was living elsewhere in Potsdam, a college town near the Canadian border.Police quickly focused on Hillary after the boy was strangled on Oct. 24, 2011. But it took nearly five years for the case to come to trial.The district attorney at the time of the killing never bought charges. Her successor as St. Lawrence County district attorney, Mary Rain, campaigned on the case. The first murder indictment Rain secured was dismissed by a judge. She was able to get the current indictment last year.As recently as this month, prosecutors were still trying to introduce high-tech DNA evidence. The trial judge rejected that motion.Hillary, who has consistently said he is innocent, last week opted to have his case heard by a judge instead of a jury. The trial is expected to last several weeks. Jaylon Ferguson Jersey .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Spain got its first victory of the Olympics, and almost nobody saw the beginning of it.The mens basketball silver medalists in the last two Olympics held off Nigeria 96-87 Thursday night in a game that started in a nearly entirely empty arena while police exploded a suspicious backpack.The public address announcer welcomed fans, players were introduced and national anthems were played, a standard pregame scene except for people in the seats.We thought, I guess nobody came to watch the game, Pau Gasol said.They had come, but couldnt get in.Security officials prevented fans from entering while police exploded the backpack left near a public restroom. The explosion reverberated inside and outside of Carioca Arena 1.Gasol was startled by the boom as he was walking onto the floor near the Spain bench.We heard an explosion but we didnt know exactly what it was or how big it was, Gasol said. We thought it was fireworks or, I dont know. The arena was pretty much dead empty at the beginning.Spain had started the Olympics with narrow losses to Croatia and Brazil and needed a victory with unbeatens Lithuania and Argentina still on their schedule in the preliminary stage.But with their fans unable to get in to provide an energy boost, coach Sergio Scariolo was worried his team might start slowly. Instead, -- with the squeaking of the players sneakers echoing in the eerie silence of the empty gym -- Span jumped to an 11-2 lead and was ahead 25-11 after one quarter.I was delighted from our first quarter, Scariolo said, how we started the game, how serious we were at the beginning, how intense we were defensively, how we moved the ball together. I think it was a great first quarter, but its true, I was concerned. I was worried aboout that.ddddddddddddhe Spanish players noticed the empty crowd while warming up, but werent aware what caused it. Inspectors had determined the game could start as scheduled and allowed media and volunteers -- who werent informed of the situation -- to remain in the building while the ticket holders were kept outside.Nigeria coach William Voigt had been briefed, but said it wasnt the reason for his teams slow start.I decided not to really say anything to anyone else, he said. I didnt want it to be a distraction, but I knew and certainly when whatever was detonated went off I think it was something everybody noticed.Fans were allowed in later in the first quarter and the Nigerians rallied to take a one-point lead into the fourth. But Gasol finished with 24 points to help Spain pull away.He had a potential tying shot blocked by Croatias Dario Saric to end the opener and then missed two crucial free throws in the closing seconds of the loss to Brazil. Frustration seemed to be setting in during this game, as Gasol picked up a technical foul in the second half for screaming at a referee after not getting a foul call.Now with two games left against the teams ahead of them, the Spanish can still put themselves in good position heading to the quarterfinals. Spain was 1-2 at this point of last summers EuroBasket tournament and rallied to win it, so the team still believes in its chances.Basically we normally went from bottom to top throughout the competitions, Scariolo said. We always did that. Always. Hopefully we will do the same thing here.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney ' ' '
