  1. Mo. Supreme Court reverses murder conviction, says prosecutors suppressed evidence

    JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The Missouri Supreme Court overturned the murder conviction of man who was sentenced to life in prison for the slaying of a woman on a neighboring farm in 1990.  The state's high court ruled Tuesday that prosecutors withheld evidence that could have helped Mark Woodworth defend himself, and which might have cast doubt on his guilt.

  6. Maryland won't face up to discrimination in criminal justice

    In June, the Maryland State Advisory Committee (SAC) to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights held a daylong briefing in Annapolis to gather information about racial disparities in Maryland's criminal justice system. As advocates for reform, we were initially pleased that this important issue would be addressed by the SAC and hoped this would be a major step forward in terms of creating a fairer justice system in Maryland.

  7. A business lesson in tolerance

    The owner of a trolley tour company in Annapolis, Md., has decided to <a href="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-12-25/news/bs-md-ar-annapolis-trolley-suspends-wedding-servic-20121225_1_marriage-law-maryland-marriage-alliance-trolley-owner/2">close down</a> one portion of his business &mdash; old-fashioned trolleys for wedding parties &mdash; rather than extend the service to same-sex couples. He has every right to do so, but he should knock off his attempts to persuade lawmakers to sanction his real hope: to discriminate against gay couples in his business.

  8. Eboo Patel explores religious pluralism

    Eboo Patel is an idealist. A hopeless romantic. A dreamer. The Chicago-based founder of the Interfaith Youth Core and one of President Barack Obama's faith advisers doesn't believe people of different faiths should just all get along. They should work together. But there's another attribute that has grounded Patel's optimism and led him to develop one of the nation's leading non-profits devoted to interfaith cooperation. Eboo Patel is a patriot. If pairing a so-called &ldquo;foreign&rdquo; name with the concept of American loyalty makes some bigots cringe, Patel's latest book will make them cringe cover to cover. In &ldquo;Sacred Ground: Pluralism, Prejudice and the Promise of America,&rdquo; Patel confronts the challenges of living up to America's high ideals, takes on the bigots and explains how he briefly lost hope for his cause, only to find it once again.

  12. It's 2013, when dreams may yet come true

    New Year's Day is a time for reassessment and renewal &mdash; and hoping the next year is an improvement over the messy rat race that was the last one. On that note, The Times has a tradition of reserving this page on this day for our own, often hopelessly over-optimistic wishes for the coming 12 months. Our record last year: Roughly five of our 27 wishes came true (that's what we mean by over-optimistic). Undeterred, we present our slate of dreams for 2013. We wish for:
