A Hateless Hate Crime Wed Mar 21

Jacob Sullum

After Dharun Ravi was convicted of "bias intimidation" crimes that carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, many people wondered why he had rejected a plea deal that would have kept him out of jail. Ravi's lawyer explained that the 20-year-old defendant's parents "didn't believe their son acted with hate, or bias, and they didn't want him labeled like that for life."

Obama to God and America: You're Wrong About Marriage Thu Mar 3

Robert Knight
