Minneapolis bridge collapses

Workers search for bodies in bridge debris
MSNBC News Service

MINNEAPOLIS - Difficult conditions hampered the search for bodies still trapped beneath the twisted debris of a collapsed bridge Thursday, as finger-pointing began over a report two years ago that found the bridge was "structurally deficient."

The official death count from Wednesday evening’s collapse stood at four, but Police Chief Tim Dolan said more bodies were in the water. Hospital officials said 79 others were injured.

The eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis artery, was in the midst of repairs when it buckled during the evening rush hour. Dozens of cars plummeted more than 60 feet into the Mississippi River, some falling on top of one of another. A school bus sat on the angled concrete.

The bridge is the state’s busiest, and carries approximately 141,000 vehicles per day. See: What Went Wrong?

South Carolina lawmakers may cut jail time for inmates who donate organs

Inmates in South Carolina could soon find that a kidney is worth 180 days
Associated Press

COLUMBIA, South Carolina: Inmates in South Carolina could soon find that a kidney is worth 180 days.

Lawmakers are considering legislation that would let prisoners donate organs or bone marrow in exchange for time off their jail sentences.

A state Senate panel on Thursday endorsed creating an organ-and-tissue donation program for inmates. But legislators postponed debate on a measure to reduce the sentences of participating prisoners, citing concern that federal law may not allow it.

"I think it's imperative that we go all out and see what we can do," said the bills' chief sponsor, Democratic Sen. Ralph Anderson. "I would like to see us get enough donors that people are no longer dying."

The proposal approved by the Senate Corrections and Penology Subcommittee would set up a volunteer donor program in prisons to teach inmates about the need for donors. But lawmakers want legal advice before acting on a bill that would shave up to 180 days off a prison sentence for inmates who donate.

States ease laws that punish teens for sex with minors

The legal age of consent varies from 14 to 18, depending on the state
By Wendy Koch
USA Today

More states are bucking the national crackdown on sex offenders by paring back punishment for teens who have consensual sex with underage partners.
Governors in seven states have signed bills in the past two months that mean no prosecution for some teens or no requirement to register as a sex offender.

States vary widely in how they prosecute consensual teen sex, which prosecutors refer to as "Romeo and Juliet" cases, but some remain tough on teens who are several years older than their partners. The legal age of consent varies from 14 to 18, depending on the state.

WHO IS A PEDOPHILE?: Pedophilia vs. 'playing doctor'

The issue has stirred debate recently through the Georgia case of Genarlow Wilson, 21, who is serving a 10-year sentence for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl at a New Year's party when he was 17. The Georgia Supreme Court heard arguments Friday on whether to release him.
