In this photo taken on Oct. 29, 2012, former school principal Anthony Tan Kim Hock, walks outside the subordinate courts in Singapore. Tan is accused of using 150,000 Singapore dollars ($120,000) from school funds to build a house for his religious order and pay for his tennis coach. Tan, 65, who retired in 2009 after 25 years at the school, is facing 21 criminal charges. If convicted he faces up to 15 years in prison. In a country known for its orderliness and strict laws where even jay-walking and public spitting are punishable offenses, a string of scandals involving Singapore educators, are raising questions about whether the government - in its hugely successful efforts to control political dissidence and crime - has ignored declining moral and social standards.

This handout photo provided by the Texas Department of Public Safety shows Michael Blair. When Blair was sent to death row for the infamous murder of 7-year-old Ashley Estell, he insisted he never killed anyone. More than a decade later, genetic testing showed he was telling the truth. But during those long years behind bars, Blair confessed to raping two other children, a crime for which he's serving multiple life sentences. Blair has made an unlikely demand, asking the state for nearly $1 million as compensation for being wrongfully convicted. His request has gone all the way to the Texas Supreme Court and is forcing a re-examination of laws designed to offer exonerated inmates a new start. (AP Photo/ Texas Department of Public Safety)

Anti-eviction activists protest at the entrance of Partido Popular (PP) Barcelona's office November 12, 2012. Spain's two main political parties were to meet on Monday to draft new foreclosure laws to give unemployed people more time to renegotiate home loans after a woman jumped from her four-storey flat on Friday just as she was to be evicted. The signs reads, "PAH (Mortgage Victims' Platform)" (top) and "Politicians and bankers assassins". REUTERS/Albert Gea
