Two Cleared After Death Of Prisoner Elkton
A Maryland circuit court discharged State Trooper John Hevans and night turnkey Jack Turner after finding they used no more than reasonable force against Abhon H Jones, a Salisbury businessman killed following his arrest for drunken driving. The panel ruled Jones resisted violently and that Hevans and Turner acted within lawful bounds. The decision came after a lengthy trial sparked by public outcry and a special prosecutor’s argument that force was excessive.

Memory and courtesy in social greetings at parties
The piece contrasts two approaches to reconnecting with someone who does not recall you. The wrong method forces memory with a bold lie, while the right method offers a gentle introduction and a chance for recognition, such as stating your name and where you might have met.
