Church Editor Criticizes Sheriff Tactics In Prostitution Case
Arkansas Baptist Magazine editor Dr. Erwin L. McDonald called Pulaski County Sheriff Frank Mackey’s method for obtaining evidence against Judy Jean Duckworth deplorable. Duckworth, 20, was arrested after a State Police officer paid her $20 for sex, which McDonald argued should have sufficed as evidence. Mackey defended the action as routine police work, warning that gentler methods could let criminals go free but that police must earn public respect to bolster law observance.

Court Didn’t Build Fires Against Self In 66 67 Term
AP News Analyst James Marlow notes the 1966 67 Supreme Court term largely avoided new self destructive rulings yet expanded civil rights protections and due process. It strengthened suspects rights, curbed discrimination in housing and marriage, and upheld sit ins while tightening obscenity limits and police procedures. The court also extended Bill of Rights protections to state courts, including speedy trials and right to counsel in lineups.
