KENTUCKY...
A pretrial hearing for an ex-Rand Paul volunteer charged with kicking a liberal activist before the final Senate campaign debate has been rescheduled for a second time.

Profitt has pleaded not guilty to a charge of fourth-degree assault in the scuffle, during which 23-year-old Lauren Valley, an activist with the group MoveOn.org, was pulled down, her faced pinned to the concrete, was kicked and her head stepped upon.
The incident occured outside the final debate between Paul and Democratic opponent Jack Conway.
