Abortion trial experts dispute Edelin fetus survival odds
In Boston the defense for Dr Kenneth Edelin argued the aborted fetus had almost no chance of life. Five medical experts testified the fetus was unlikely to survive due to immature lungs and extreme prematurity, while a Johns Hopkins official said the procedure was within standard medical practice. Prosecutor Newman Flanagan pressed for stricter readings of expert testimony as the case neared its jury verdict.

Belfast killing hits cease fire countdown in Northern Ireland
A 19 year old Roman Catholic roadsweeper was shot dead by gunmen in a stolen car in south Belfast less than 10 hours before an IRA cease fire began. The toll of violence in Northern Ireland reached 1 155 since August 1969 amid IRA Protestant extremist and British army clashes. The IRA announced an open end cease fire effective 1 p.m. EST and officials questioned if it is genuine or a political ploy to gain concessions or win support in elections. Northern Ireland Secretary Merlyn Rees returned to Belfast to assess the situation.
