Murder decline hits across US in early 2004 data
FBI figures show violent crime fell about 2 percent in the first six months of 2004 from the prior year with murders down 400 to 500 nationally. The drop was largest in cities over 1 million and in the South, with Chicago and New York City reporting notable declines. Police credit anti gang and gun control efforts, though experts caution the trend may not hold for the full year.

Northeast to witness first execution in decades
Connecticut faces the January 26 2005 execution of serial killer Michael Ross the first death penalty carried out in New England since the colonial era. Ross 45 admits killing eight women in the 1980s and raping most of them. He will face lethal injection after appeals fade. Public defenders challenge his choice to die while a psychiatric evaluation proceeds. A repeal bill is anticipated as Connecticut and New Hampshire remain the region’s death penalty states.
