• In Florida, You Can Never Over-Punish the Innocent

THE DNA says he didn't do it. The prosecutor and victim still say he did, but DNA is definitive and tests found none of Derrick Williams' on the shirt the victim says her rapist wore when she was attacked in 1992. Williams, of Palmetto, Fla., has always maintained his innocence; witnesses placed him at a family barbecue at the time of the assault and he offered blood and saliva samples to prove he was not the culprit, but the rapist had left no sperm samples they could be tested against and no means then existed to extract DNA from clothing.

• Torture Can Never Be Justified, Even to Prevent Attack

The editorial in the May 6 Buffalo News, "The debate over torture," questioned the use of torture, and examined the premise that torture would be justified to obtain information by which to head off an attack. This premise -- the "ticking bomb" scenario, in which a bomb will soon go off, killing thousands, evacuation is impossible, we have arrested the person who knows where it is, and torture is the only way to find it -- is the cornerstone of attempts to make torture appear morally legitimate. To be sure, torture is bad, the argument goes, but in life we frequently make ethical decisions based not just on the character of an action but also on the balance of good and evil consequences.

• Take Two: Grass-Eating Can Never Take the Place of a Good High-Five

Novak Djokovic celebrated winning Wimbledon by plucking some grass from Centre Court and popping it into his mouth. "I felt like an animal," said Djokovic, whose act drew a Twitter nod from LSU football Coach Les Miles, himself known as a grazer. After the coach was spotted eating grass during a victory over Alabama last season, he called it "a little tradition that humbles me as a man, that let's me know I'm part of the field. Djokovic, a Serbian with no known affinity for SEC football, probably didn't realize he was following Miles' lead like a sheep. Regardless, this wouldn't be the first time a sports celebration sprang up from multiple independent sources around the same time.

• Michael Jackson: 'Never Can Say Goodbye'

Once [Harry Crist Jr.]'s death was ruled a suicide, the murder suspects were relieved. A suicide designation prevents a murder prosecution. A suicide classification may also prevent the payment of an insurance policy. In my humble opinion, there should be a presumption against suicide. When I said that Crist's death was a homicide, Gov. Mario Cuomo and New York Attorney General Robert Abrams hit the ceiling. You would have thought that I had stepped on their toes. They had already hidden the autopsy report and had concealed the identity of the pathologist who examined Crist's body. July 8: UAM Weekly Forum at Elks Plaza, 1068 [Harriet Tubman] (Fulton Street) near Classon Avenue in Brooklyn at 7:30 p.m. Take the "C" train to Franklin Avenue. Two blocks to Elks Plaza.

• You Never Know How Much a Kind Act Can Mean

We'd just wrapped up the TH's Taste of Home Cooking School at the Grand River Center the other night. I served as emcee and everything went well, with more than 1,000 in attendance. But I was whipped, having worked all day and been on stage all evening. On my way out, I stopped at the TH counter to talk to a couple of my colleagues when a white-haired lady using a walker approached us. She was looking for a pay phone. My colleagues and I exchanged glances. There aren't exactly a lot of pay phones around these days. "I need to call for a ride," she said. I was fumbling around looking for my phone when she said she needed a phone book, too, so she could look up the number of a cab company.

• Obama: Egypt Can Never Go Back -- President Confident of Future, Wary of Brotherhood

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said Sunday that Egypt is not going to go back to the way it was before pro-democracy protests roiled the country, and played down prospects that the Muslim Brotherhood would take a major role in a new government. I think that the Muslim Brotherhood is one faction in Egypt," Obama said. "They don't have majority support.
