Here are updates on two articles in this journal that were originally published a few years ago:
My essay "Presumption of Uncertainty" was published in The American Lawyer magazine in 2003. For more recent updates on the case, conduct a Google search on "Central Park Jogger" and you'll find a wealth of material. One of the best pieces I've read about the verdicts being overturned was Sydney Schanberg's analysis in The Village Voice. Also among the items a search will turn up is a documentary in the American Justice series on A&E called "The Central Park Jogger Case: What Went Wrong?"
I wrote "A Matter of Life and Death" for Court TV's website in 1997, during jury selection in the Terry Nichols trial. Nichols was convicted of conspiracy to blow up the Murrah Building and eight counts of manslaughter, but was acquitted of 168 murder charges, and the jury declined to impose a death sentence. A Google search for "Terry Nichols" will get you updates from his subsequent state murder trial, and his more recent allegations of the FBI's prior knowledge of the Oklahoma City bombing. Court TV's archive from the federal trial is also still available online.
