Civic duty prevails in Bonin jailhouse confession trial
Los Angeles reporter David Lopez testified that William Bonin confessed to 21 slayings in a jailhouse interview, saying I couldn't stop killing and I was dying for a hamburger. Lopez disclosed the confession under shield law limits, describing his civic duty and journalistic oath as reasons to testify. The trial focusing on the Freeway Killings case, involving 44 bodies dumped along Southern California freeways between 1972 and 1980, continued with cross examination delayed closing arguments.

Arizona killers' executions delayed by federal moratorium
Two condemned men Edward Schad Jr and Robert Vickers were granted an indefinite reprieve by U S District Judge Carl Muecke, preserving a 1980 moratorium on executions unless Arizona can show otherwise. Schad appeals his conviction while Vickers seeks execution, and both were returned to Death Row after time in special cells for condemned inmates.
