Monday morning jumpstart – PM version
Apr 23rd
I fully intended to start a new feature here – the Monday Morning Jumpstart. It was to be a roundup of the weekend’s most interesting posts (including mine). However, the server was acting sluggish this morning and I was about to be late for work, so I shelved it. In that spirit, though, here are (what I think) the top stories of yesterday.
- The Innocence Project announces the 200th DNA exoneration. More coverage at CDW and eyeID.
- Man in MA held for four years after his discharge date!
- CT prosecutor avoids jail time.
- Monday Musings: Frolics and Detours.
Now, those who read the blog know that I have started several “features” and abandoned them after the first week – mostly because I’m lazy, but sometimes because I’m forgetful. I’ll try to keep this going, but who knows?
