Kelly perhaps didn't get the memo: On the first day of his jury's selection, he wore a loud purple suit. On Tuesday, he struck a comparatively muted tone, sporting a blue pinstriped suit, with a preppy blue-and-orange striped tie. On Wednesday, he wore a light-brown pinstriped suit, a white shirt and a yellow tie with dots of an undeterminable color. The only constant so far has been Kelly's cornrows, which always seem...

Nearby a 20-foot tall statue of a rider on a horse was decapitated during the quake, and the rider's head now sits upturned at its base. Many buildings on its main street were toppled, and the Dongqi Middle School collapsed with an estimated 200 students inside...
...hour later, almost exactly three days after the quake struck, the soldiers pull out two bodies from the massage parlor. A crowd gathers on the street to watch, and more soldiers come to prevent the emotional scene from overflowing. Deng learns that his father has identified his mother's body. He sits on a railing with his grandmother, a cotton mask over his mouth and a camouflage hat on his head. "It's a tragedy," he says, his voice finally cracking. "You must cherish life. You must cherish every moment you are alive." With reporting by Lin Yang
