Cruise line escapes fine for rescuing rafters
Majesty Cruise Line avoided a potential 57000 penalty after rescuing 19 Cuban rafters off Florida. INS ruled the captain acted in good faith by attempting to drop them at the nearest port, with fines rarely applied when rescued refugees lack visas. Stakeholders urge policy change to reduce disincentives for aiding those in peril.

Missouri execution halted amid innocence claims
Gov. Mel Carnahan blocked the planned 1984 murder injection of Lloyd Schlup as he faces claims of innocence with new evidence including a prison videotape and affidavits. Carnahan will appoint a board to review the case, while defense lawyers argue Schlup could not have killed the inmate in the time before the slaying. A federal appeals court previously criticized Schlup’s first lawyer as absolutely ineffective.

Cardinal defends decisions on priest in Chicago visit
Cardinal Joseph Bernardin defended his handling of a Cincinnati priest accused of sexual misconduct who still had contact with children. He cited past policies and consultation with a victim family, noting reforms since then and acknowledging a 1979 camper's allegation led to counseling. Bernardin is not named in all suits and denies a separate Ohio suit alleging sex with a teenager.
