Prosecution Sends Big Message to Farmers
Two Colorado cantaloupe farmers, Eric and Ryan Jensen, pleaded not guilty in Denver federal court to charges of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce. The FDA says Jensen Farms’ packing house likely contaminated water and old equipment led to the 2011 listeria outbreak that killed 33 people across 28 states and Hospitalized 147. The case signals higher safety expectations for produce, with potential severe penalties if convicted.

KU Anthropology professors defend Guth on free speech rights
The Anthropology Department at Kansas University criticized administration for placing journalism professor David W. Guth on indefinite administrative leave after his Twitter post about the Navy Yard shooting. Chairwoman Jane Gibson and 14 colleagues argued the action infringes Guths First Amendment rights and chills academic freedom, while Guth defended speaking as a private individual. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the leave aimed to avoid class disruption, amid amid political calls to fire Guth and threats influencing funding discussions.
