The Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) Friday released its annual year-end report on the death penalty in the US, highlighting continually declining rates of execution despite what the DPIC called “i ncendiary political advertising that drove the public’s perception of rising crime to record highs.” For the eighth year in a row, authorities issued fewer than 50 new death sentences and carried out fewer than 30 executions.

Twitter’s decision to ban VOA Chief National Correspondent and JURIST Journalist in Residence Steve Herman is an affront to freedom of the press, Twitter’s professed championing of free speech, and the public good.

by Dennis Crouch. I like to think of collateral estoppel alongside binding precedent. Both involve a set of (at least) two separate cases, and the question is always whether some conclusion drawn in the earlier action forecloses relitigation of same (or similar) issue in the latter action. Precedent is broader because it applies across-the-board regardless of the parties involved.
