Supreme Court clears Alabama inmate releases in stalled ruling
In a move reversing a two day old order, Supreme Court Justice Powell lifted a temporary stay on about 230 Alabama inmates scheduled for release. Federal and state officials note the writ now allows a Alabama judge to authorize releases before year end. Many inmates are housed in county jails and deemed less dangerous than those in state prisons. In Syracuse a federal judge rejects a suit by Oneida Indians seeking 5 million acres and nearly two centuries of rent payments.
