Maine's highest court is being asked to decide whether supervisors can be held liable for an unlimited time period for acts of sexual abuse committed by people who work for them.

The Maine Attorney General's Office has initiated an investigation into the shooting death Monday night of an Albion man by a Maine state trooper.

An Albion man died last night during an armed confrontation with State Police. State Police responded to the home of 34-year-old Johnathan Sullivan after a domestic assault had been reported by Sullivan's wife.
