CLARION, Iowa - Jurors have found an Osage teenager guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of his mother.

Closing arguments are set to begin in the case of a rural Osage teenager accused of shooting his mother to death.

After a brief hiatus Thursday due to the snow storm, the trial of 14-year-old Noah Crooks resumed Friday in Clarion, Iowa.

Employment picked up more than forecast in April and the jobless rate unexpectedly declined to a four-year low of 7.5 percent, showing federal budget cuts failed to destabilize the U.S. labor market.

Jury selection in the trial of a 14-year-old Osage boy accused of fatally shooting his mother is scheduled to begin this week.
