...Democratic investigators also want to use the hearing to question the use of non-White House e-mail accounts. A watchdog organization, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, has said they suspect key players at the White House used outside accounts, including accounts at the Republican National Committee, to circumvent record-keeping required by law. Senate...
...high-profile event in which the victim was in the international spotlight, and it followed hours after a humiliating defeat for his team. The fact that police believe he would have known his killers (because there was no sign of forced entry or robbery) has narrowed the range of suspects and motives. The fact that police have security camera tapes of people who used the elevator to get on and off Woolmer's hotel room floor on the night of his murder may further narrow the pool of suspects.

...opposition is just one person: the Erin Brockovich of decommed soldiers, a Rambo with a higher IQ - Bob Lee Swagger!

Yet the way most courts define "beyond a reasonable doubt" seems to place the burden on the defendant to show a weakness in the prosecution's arguments. That...
...plans to arm its officers with Tasers—weapons that are used to subdue suspects by releasing a disabling electric charge—potentially making it the first Boston-area police department to add the weapon to its arsenal. Tasers have come under increasing scrutiny because of concerns about the risk they may pose to suspects, with an Amnesty International report released last year concluding that 61 people died in the U.S. in 2005 after being shocked with a Taser gun. Police Department spokesman Frank T. Pasquarello said in a phone interview yesterday that no money has yet been...
