Iowa Confession Law Shifts To Require Corroboration
Iowa lawmakers move to revise the confession rule in the criminal code. Under the change a voluntary confession alone could not sustain a conviction without other evidence linking the defendant to the offense. Prosecutors and defense lawyers say the shift tightens proof standards, though in practice prosecutors often have more than a confession to rely on.

Never Refuse a 10 33 Signal on Interstate CB Report
A CB radio anecdote from The Gazette's Blue Kazoo column recounts a Sunday drive on interstate 75 through Tennessee. A driver, blocked on channel 19 by Smokey Grey Ghost, triggers an emergency 10-33 when stranded by heavy rain near exit 60. Relays from a Chattanooga doctor and other CBers restore contact, highlighting the rule to yield exclusive channel priority in emergencies.
