Since 1996, nine states, including Maryland and Virginia, have eliminated some voting barriers for people with felony convictions, according to a report by the Sentencing Project, a think tank that advocates alternatives to imprisonment. Three states -- Utah, Massachusetts and Kansas -- have toughened voting policies for felons in that same seven-year period, researchers for the report found. Kansas has limited voting to felons on probation; Massachusetts and Utah have disenfranchised felons in prison."

But Sunday, hardly a newscast went by without mention of the man's condition, and his shooting ignited calls for an independent inquiry. This time, the soldiers had shot an Israeli, a kibbutznik who himself was wearing an army uniform until a few weeks ago. Human rights groups argue that the shooting of Gil Naamati Friday ... confirms what they have been charging for three years: that the army regularly shoots, and often kills Palestinians, when soldiers' lives are not endangered."

At least two have been imprisoned, one committed suicide, several are awaiting sentencing, many are preparing for trial, and more have lost their licenses to practice medicine and accumulated huge legal bills." (12/29/03) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37015-2003Dec28.html Pot supporter unfazed by Canadian Supreme Court ruling MAPINC "A Supreme Court of Canada decision upholding a federal law prohibiting possession of small amounts of marijuana doesn't faze Victor (Randy) Caine, the former South Surrey resident whose arrest 10 years ago in White Rock went all the way to the highest court in the land. 'I'm not surprised by it, or disturbed by it,' Caine said of the 6-3 ruling Dec. 23 that the federal law does not violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canada's top judges ruled it's up to Parliament to change that law. Caine takes comfort from the fact three judges agreed the ban violates Canadian rights. ... 'I'm not waiting for any government or any judge to tell me that I'm free. If I'm waiting for that, I will remain a slave to them forever.'"

(12/26/03) http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03/n1995/a09.html Straining the system Daily Home "Although drug abuse puts a strain on virtually every aspect of civil society, it probably places no greater burden anywhere than on the justice system. And, according to local prosecutors, at least one of the major factors in creating this strain is a lack of resources to punish those who break drug laws. [Talladega County, AL, District Attorney] Steve Giddens estimates that about half of the criminal cases set to go to trial every month are pure drug cases, either possession of marijuana or other controlled substances, distribution, trafficking, manufacturing and others."
