...death penalty," Hirschorn says, "and without the option of LWOP you could guarantee the death penalty." In the Houston cop killing case, the lawyers for defendant Juan Quintero initially attempted an insanity defense, citing a traumatic brain injury. Though the jurors rejected it and found Quintero guilty, Mark Bennett, a Houston defense lawyer argued on his blog "Defendingpeople.com" that the head injury testimony lingered in the minds of some jurors, who may have regarded it as a mitigating factor in deciding on a life sentence rather than execution...
...took just two minutes for Theresa Jackson to get sterilized. On a recent afternoon in Gallatin, Tenn., the 35-year-old mother of three lay on an exam table in the office of her ob-gyn, Dr. Alan Bennett, with her feet in stirrups and her husband by her side.

As an alternative, Utah Senator Bob Bennett suggested Thursday that those banks getting money from the Treasury be required to convert any carmaker debt that they hold into equity, thereby easing the Big Three's cash crunch...
...Robert Nardelli argued back. At another point in the hearing, Nardelli told Dodd that the weakest of the Big Three can survive alone and that $7 billion is all it will need "to avoid, Mr. Chairman, having to come back and again ask you for support." Utah's Bennett broached the idea of Congress writing into any package a proviso forcing GM and Chrysler to merge. UAW chief Gettelfinger questioned the benefits of such a move, saying, "In terms of synergies, it's debatable about how effective it would be." Wagoner said he was open to looking...
