Court hears ex-officers' appeals in Katrina case

Two former New Orleans police officers have asked a federal appeals
court to throw out their convictions on charges stemming from the
fatal shooting of a man whose burned body turned up in Hurricane
Katrina's aftermath.

A three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also on
Wednesday heard the Justice Department's appeal of a judge's decision
to order a new trial for a third officer, Travis McCabe.

McCabe was convicted of writing a false report on Henry Glover's 2005 shooting.

The panel didn't indicate when it would rule.

David Warren, who was convicted of shooting Glover without
justification, argues he shouldn't have been tried alongside other
officers charged in the case, including Gregory McRae, who was
convicted of burning Glover's body in a car.
