The Supreme Court said Monday that it will decide whether it is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles who kill to life in prison without the chance of parole, a next step after the court’s recent rulings that children may not be eligible for the same tough sentences as adults. The justices ruled in 2005 that juveniles may not be executed for their crimes. In 2010, they said that teenagers may not be locked up for life without the possibility of parole for crimes other than homicide. Read full article > >

Defense attorneys for Brittany Norwood, the woman charged with killing a co-worker in a Bethesda yoga shop, are likely to assert that their client is not criminally responsible because of mental illness, according to a filing in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

Norwood, 29, is charged with first-degree murder in the March killing of Jayna Murray, 30, inside Lululemon Athletica in downtown Bethesda.

And yet, when Sen. Herb Kohl (D) shocked the political world last Friday with his announcement that he wouldn’t seek a fifth term in 201 2 it immediately became clear that Ryan was likely to pass on the open seat race.

Three thoughts: 1. A crisis is when someone or something is at risk of permanent damage. Your husband is a grown man; the possibility of familial no-shows is not a crisis, it’s a bummer. 2.
