Supreme Court hints at broader review of prisoner sentences
The Supreme Court in a 7-2 ruling allowed a Mississippi man Harvey Garlotte, serving consecutive sentences from 1985, habeas review by federal court.

Built in child seat anchor could become common
A federal panel urges goof proof car seat systems to boost usage and save hundreds of children yearly. Panel moderator Philip Haseltine notes government approval could make built in anchors as standard as anti lock brakes and airbags while urging better parental education on proper installation. The Blue Ribbon Panel cites 40 percent misuse rates and 700 child deaths last year with 203 of 615 infants and toddlers possibly saved with proper restraint.
