Kunstler Contempt Trial Sparks Courtroom Tension
Activist lawyer William Kunstler was jailed for two hours in Wake County North Carolina after challenging the court's process in the Joan Little murder case. He accused the judge of a miscarriage of justice and pledged to appeal while observers would be stationed inside the courtroom. Meanwhile Goodwill Industries and the U S Commerce Department announced an emergency plan to distribute 28 million canning jar lids by mail to ease a nationwide shortage, with nine dozen lids per five dollar order and a 26 000 order cap.
