On a quiet night in 1991, Detroit police answered an unnerving call. A man told them he had just repeatedly stabbed his wife. She had been six-months pregnant. Now, she was dead. When the officers arrived at the house, Gregory Green was calmly waiting. He didn’t place the call to get involved in a fiery shootout. It was not a trap. He placed it for one simple, chilling reason: he had just murdered his pregnant wife, and he was ready to be arrested and pay for his crimes.

"There's even no showing that his life or safety is threatened."

Former Orlando police officer Peter Delio caused great bodily harm to a man he kneed in a police holding cell two years ago, rupturing his spleen, an Orange County jury said Wednesday. Delio, 32, was found guilty of felony battery. He had admitted to striking Robert Liese, 42, with his knee in the holding cell — a blow that was caught on surveillance video — but claimed the hit was not what caused Liese's spleen to rupture. A felony conviction prevents Delio from working as a law enforcement officer in Florida.

Despite the fact that the United States has a very, very high rate of gun deaths compared to other developed countries, we actually know very little about the public-health threat posed by firearms. That's because Congress, working closely with the NRA, passed legislation in the 1990s barring the Centers for Disease control from spending money on any research that could be seen as pro-gun-control, and the CDC has interpreted this ban in a broad manner — the NRA's maneuvering has effectively choked off decades of would-be new research on an area of huge public importance.
