University study notes decline in child poverty rates
A university study using Census data shows the child poverty rate fell to 22 percent in 1997 from 23.2 percent in 1996, with a 16 percent drop since 1993. It notes welfare reform moved families into low wage jobs and that 65 percent of poor young children had a working parent, aided by the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Virginia Supreme Court ruling opens many juvenile cases to challenge
The Virginia Supreme Court held that both parents must be notified when a juvenile is arrested, potentially enabling thousands of convictions to be challenged. It halted death row inmate Douglas Christopher Thomas and ordered a new trial for Jeramie Baker, who was 17 at the time of his crimes. The ruling may affect up to eight years of prior cases and prompts review of notification practices and potential retrials across the state.
