Anniversary protest marks U S Iraq war year in Carbondale
Southern Illinois Peace Coalition marked one year of U S involvement in Iraq with a curbside demonstration in Carbondale noting over 550 American deaths and 10 000 Iraqi casualties since March 20 2003 along with a $100 billion price tag and $4 billion monthly occupation costs. Protesters argued no weapons of mass destruction were found and linked Patriot Act and depleted uranium concerns to broader ethical issues.

Costly mistrial looms over Illinois murder case costs
The Benton federal trial for Sahakian, Knorr, and McIntosh incurred more than $3 million in expenses funded by taxpayers. Costs cover six defense attorneys, investigators, U.S. Attorney's staff, security at the courthouse, inmate-witness transport, and housing, plus 18 U.S. Marshals assigned to the district. Extra security included concrete barriers, metal detectors, stun belts, and armed guards. Jurors deadlocked after eight days. Sahakian was convicted of a lesser prison-objects charge. The three defendants have lengthy records connected to the Aryan Brotherhood and Marion prison violence. No new motions suggest a second trial.
