After reading that DNA testing is freeing people who were wrongly convicted, I wonder whether anyone worries about defendants who were wrongly convicted using DNA testing. From 1989 to 1993, here in Oklahoma, DNA evidence was the only murder-trial evidence implicating a Native American defendant from my family.

Ever since then, Greg has struggled to wrest some meaning from this tragedy, and I think he has succeeded. His powerful book about Galen's murder, Gone Boy: A Walkabout, will be published this week. It is must reading for everyone troubled by the epidemic of shootings, such as the recent one in Fort Worth, Texas, that have left so many teenagers dead.

Timothy McVeigh should have been charged with at least one more murder. That?s the line from the Christian Coalition, members of which were on hand Thursday as the House passed a bill that would make it a federal offense to harm a fetus while committing a federal crime. Under the coalition-backed Unborn Victims of Violence Act, McVeigh, one of the perpetrators in the Oklahoma City bombing case, would have one more offense on his rap sheet because a pregnant woman was among the casualties of the explosion. While no one can predict what will happen in the Senate...
