NADYA LABI, in three years at TIME, has written about the schoolyard killings in Jonesboro, Ark., and the crash of Swiss Air Flight 111.

Andrew Golden and Mitchell Johnson, the two boys accused of the schoolyard killings in Jonesboro, Arkansas, go before a juvenile court today. Because the boys are under 14 years old when the shooting occurred, they would -- at most -- spend only a few years in prison if found guilty. Tomorrow is Mitchell Johnson?s 14th birthday...
