Phelps defends funeral protests in heated hearing
The debate over funeral protests neared a clash between free speech advocates and families seeking privacy. Proponents say memorials are public platforms while opponents call signs at services harassment. A Kansas bill would ban picketing within 300 feet of funeral entrances around service times, drawing support from veterans and privacy advocates and opposition from Phelps and supporters who deem it a speech restriction.

Rampage kills eight as ex postal worker linked to attacks
A woman wounded in a ram page died Wednesday and investigators said the assailant also killed a former neighbor, raising the death toll to eight. Beverly Graham, 54, was found dead at a Santa Barbara condo complex once home to former BRIEFLY postal employee Jennifer Sanmarco. Police believe the rampage began with Graham’s death. Sanmarco had earlier killed six postal workers and died by suicide, in what was thought to be the nation's deadliest workplace shooting by a woman.
