 | Ga. execution would be first since Supreme Court ruling
This undated prison photo released by the Georgia
Department of Corrections shows convicted murderer Williams Lynd.
It's been nearly 20 years since Lynd shot his live-in girlfriend
three times in the face, killing her and then burying her body in a
shallow grave near a south Georgia farmhouse. He may at long last be
put to death for the crime on Tuesday. His lawyers will first ask the
state Board of Pardons and Parole on Monday to spare his life,
arguing the crime was not premeditated and was fueled by a toxic mix
of valium, marijuana and alcohol. If the execution moves forward as
scheduled, it would be among the first in the nation since the U.S.
Supreme Court said lethal injection was constitutional. (AP

 | Suits question how Kan. prosecutor handled abortion records
Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline talks to a men's
group at the Topeka Bible Church in Topeka, Kan. Saturday, Sept, 16,
2006. How prosecutor Phill Kline and his employees handled patient
records is a major issue in a legal dispute before the Kansas Supreme
Court. A Planned Parenthood clinic is trying to force Kline to return
patient files that could be a key part of his criminal case accusing
the clinic of performing illegal abortions and falsifying
documents.Almost all details about the dispute remained secret for 11
months because the Supreme Court had kept separate lawsuits filed by
Planned Parenthood and the attorney general's office under seal. On
Friday May 2, 2008, the court unsealed them, making hundreds of pages
of documents public. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, FILE)
