A Las Vegas court has ordered boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. to stay away from his former girlfriend and their two sons after prosecutors say he hit her and threatened to beat his children if they called 911.

The 33-year-old Mayweather was not required to appear at a hearing Tuesday before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Diana Sullivan on eight misdemeanor and felony charges. Sullivan gave Mayweather a week to pay $31,000 in bail.

Authorities allege Mayweather also took mobile phones belonging to Josie Harris and his sons following the Sept. 9 dispute.

Mayweather faces charges of felony coercion, grand larceny and robbery, and misdemeanor domestic battery and harassment.

He could face up to 34 years in prison if convicted on all charges. He is due back in court Jan. 24.

Jurors have begun deliberations in the trial of a New Hampshire teenager charged with wielding a machete during a deadly home invasion last year.

Superior Court Judge Gillian Abramson told jurors to voice their individual opinions when they consider the case against 18-year-old Steven Spader.

Spader is charged with first-degree murder and other felonies in the knife and machete attacks that killed Kimberly Cates and maimed her 11-year-old daughter, Jaimie, in their Mont Vernon home. He has pleaded not guilty.

A prosecutor told jurors that Spader's detailed written accounts of the killing amount to a confession. His lawyers dismissed them as the writings of a teen known for bragging and lying.

Spader will be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of murder.

The Supreme Court is weighing whether Costco and other discount sellers can offer cut-rate goods from foreign manufacturers without violating U.S. copyright laws.

The justices heard argument Monday in a dispute between Costco and the Swiss watch maker Omega over a line of watches that Costco sold for a third less than they cost elsewhere.

The case has important implications for discount sellers like Costco and Target as well as eBay, Amazon and other companies that form an estimated $58 billion annual market for goods that are purchased abroad, then imported and resold without the permission of the manufacturer. The U.S.-based sellers, and consumers, benefit from the common practice of manufacturers to price items more cheaply abroad than in the United States.

The software, book, music and movie industries say a broad ruling for Costco also could threaten their ability to retain control over copyrighted works. By contrast, public and university libraries worry that a decision in favor of Omega could force them to withdraw foreign-made books from circulation.

Omega sued Costco for copyright infringement after the wholesale membership club offered Omega's Seamaster watch for $1,299. The suggested retail price was $1,995.

Costco purchased the watches from a company in New York. Omega initially sold at least some of the watches to an authorized distributor in Paraguay.

The high court already has ruled that copyright protections do not apply when the goods are made in the U.S., sold abroad and reimported. This case concerns only foreign-made items.

A Nova Scotia man who burned a cross on the lawn of an inter-racial Nova Scotia couple earlier this year has been found guilty of inciting racial hatred.

Justin Rehberg will be sentenced in December.

The 20-year-old Rehberg had pleaded guilty to criminal harassment but not guilty to the charge of inciting racial hatred stemming from the Feb. 21 incident in Poplar Grove, N.S.

He was found guilty on both counts Friday, said CTV's Todd Battis, who was at the courthouse in Windsor. N.S.

Rehberg's lawyer argued that the act of burning a cross was not enough on its own to qualify as inciting racial hatred and pointed out that the community has supported the inter-racial couple through the process.

The Supreme Court expressed sympathy for a California law that aims to keep children away from ultra-violent video games, but several justices said the law faces a high constitutional hurdle.

The high court heard arguments Tuesday over a California ban that would make it illegal for retailers to sell or rent violent video games to anyone under 18. Parents would be able to buy the games and give them to their children, but retailers who sell directly to minors would face fines of up to $1,000 for each game sold.

Several justices, including Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Anthony Kennedy, noted that entertainment forms like comic books, movies, rap music and even children's fairy tales can also be violent but are not regulated by the state.

Those justices said the law, which has never been enforced, could be considered vague. They suggested that it might encroach on First Amendment rights.

But other justices seemed to dislike the notion that state officials should be powerless to keep children from buying a "deviant, violent" video game. They included Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor.

An Ontario woman has pleaded guilty to keeping thousands of dollars in donations after faking terminal cancer.

Ashley Kirilow of Burlington was charged with six counts of fraud under $5,000 and one count of fraud over $5,000.

In a soft voice, Ms. Kirilow pleaded guilty to defrauding Donna Michalowski of close to $7,400 collected at a fundraiser held at a bar.

The other five charges will be addressed next year.

Police said the 23-year-old woman pretended to have cancer to raise money that she promised to give to charity, but kept the cash for herself.

Ms. Kirilow turned herself in to police on Aug. 6.

Her father has said she told him she shaved her head and eyebrows, and plucked her eyelashes to appear to have cancer.

When allegations surfaced against Ms. Kirilow, public outrage was swift.

Angry comments were splashed across the Facebook page set up for Ms. Kirilow's fake charity, Change for the Cure, with some even saying they hoped she got cancer.

One report published before Ms. Kirilow was charged had the young woman saying she was sorry for what she did.
