The jury system is supposed to produce verdicts that can be proven “beyond a reasonable doubt”. But a courtroom is not a scientific laboratory, and one former juror who served on an early 1990s homicide trial now believes she and her peers convicted the wrong men. Also, Bush v. Kerry: the media war, Paul Shambroom on his photos of town meetings, and 30 Issues: housing.

30 Issues: Free Trade and Outsourcing
Distinctions over trade policy have been muted between the two presidential candidates, but outsourcing has loomed as an issue in this campaign. The Democrats seemed more to the left on the issue when they spoke poorly of free trade in the primary debates. And since the chairman of President Bush’s Council of Economic Advisors argued in favor of outsourcing earlier this year, the Republicanshas strayed from the topic. This installment of the series looks at the merits of outsourcing and free trade and how each candidate will treat it should they be elected.
Read beyond for an excerpt of the candidate's positions.
