<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We confronted two high profile cases in the last
couple of weeks, first, a declaration of innocence in the Duke Lacrosse case in
NC, and second, the apparent innocence of Rauland Grube in a murder
case from southeastern Idaho, on which I posted several days ago.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now appears this series of editorials from of all
places, Texas. The Dallas Morning News editorial staff reversed its
100 year stance in favor of the death penalty. In so doing, it made many
of the best arguments for reconsidering our willingness to retain the death
penalty. </FONT><FONT face=Arial>The editorial pieces are thoughtful and
worthy of all citizens' review, especially in states like Idaho that
continue to have the death penalty.</FONT></DIV>
