• Go Get a Book in Your Hand! Kesia's Teens: Let's Talk Love and Loss

Hi there, Fellow Teen Readers. Welcome to GoGAB'S Kesia's Teens. I am breathless! Here's why. Since the seniors at Sidwell's are out of school doing various yearend projects, in between working in a classroom setting as part of my final project and having a social life, I've been running around trying to find some really cool books about Black and/or bi-racial teens, and it is challenging. There are so few books out there about teens of color! It's like we don't have a life! Come on... everyone knows that being a teen is all about drama! Hmm. Guess I made the right choice to pursue writing and filmmaking at college in the fall. From "What They FoundLove on 145th Street" (Wendy Lamb Books/Random House Children's Books, 2007) by [Walter Dean Meyers], includes the short story "The Life You...

• In Stay Denial, Justice John Paul Stevens Again Blasts Death Row Appeal Process

In an order that hits close to home for many Washington-area residents, the Supreme Court yesterday cleared the way for John Allen Muhammad, also known as the D.C. Sniper, to be executed tonight in Virginia. Yesterday the Court denied Muhammad's application to stay his execution, exhausting his judicial remedies. Unless Gov. Timothy M. Kaine intervenes, Muhammad will die by lethal injection tonight, a sentence for the shooting death of Dean H. Meyers in Virginia - one of 10 shooting deaths in and around the Washington area that terrorized the region for three weeks in October 2002.

• Execution Attempt Fails

DC sniper's execution set RICHMOND, Va. -- A Virginia judge on Wednesday set a Nov. 10 execution date for John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area that left 10 dead. Prince William County Circuit Judge Mary Grace O'Brien picked a Tuesday for the execution so that courts would be open the day before in case of any last-minute legal appeals. Jonathan Sheldon, Muhammad's attorney, said Muhammad would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and ask Gov. Timothy M. Kaine for clemency. Muhammad was sentenced to death for the slaying of Dean Meyers, who was shot at a Manassas gas station during a three-week killing spree in October 2002. COLUMBUS, Ohio - The lawyer for an inmate whose execution was halted after an unprecedented two hours said trying to ...

An attorney for convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad said in an online statement that he will file a request for clemency with Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine on Oct. 22.

• Not Justice ; Regardless of Case, Death Penalty Is Wrong

THERE WERE few tears shed for John Allen Muhammad. The so-called "D.C. sniper" was executed by lethal injection on Tuesday in Virginia. It took just seven years from the three-week shooting spree in 2002 that left 10 people dead for Muhammad to be executed. We would rather he spent the rest of his natural life behind bars. We recognize that "natural" is a hard fit for the mastermind behind a brutal killing rampage. Muhammad was sentenced to die for the murder of Dean Harold Meyers. He was shot in the head at a Manassas gas station.

• D.C. Sniper Asks Court to Block His Execution

WASHINGTON - Attorneys for John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area that left 10 dead, asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to stop his execution. The 48-year-old Muhammad is scheduled to die by injection on Nov. 10 at a Virginia prison. In court papers, his attorneys say the execution should be put off while the court considers whether his trial lawyer was ineffective. Muhammad was convicted of killing Dean Harold Meyers at a Manassas, Va., gas station during a three-week spree in October 2002 that spanned Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
