Keeping up with all the news bewteen classes

Death penalty news and developments continue apace even between our class meetings.  For example, as detailed here, on Friday the Supreme Court granted review in a case presenting "a test of federal courts' authority to overturn a state trial judge's decision to remove a juror from a capital trial because of that juror's views about capital punishment."  Also, as detailed here, the Washington Post has this provocative death penalty article in Sunday's paper.

As a general matter, I encourage members of the class to regularly stop by three great death penalty blogs — Capital Defense Weekly and Ohio Death Penalty Information and StandDown Texas Project — to keep up with current capital happenings.
