...message is so streamlined that Edwards hardly talks about himself - his time as a trial lawyer or his years in the U.S. Senate or even his experiences as the 2004 Vice Presidential candidate. The only experience he talks about is his childhood as the son of a poor mill worker who had to borrow money to take him home from the hospital. "I come from a family where people worked in the mills. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education, she came from a family of sharecroppers, she worked hard all of her life. I loved her dearly," Edwards said...
...conviction, it's now time for Sarkozy to make good on that pledge. Judicial accords between France and Chad make transferrals of convicts virtually mandatory once prisoners have requested return to their home nations. The six Zoé's Ark workers made such a petition just hours after their trial closed, leading some legal experts to anticipate their delivery to French authorities within days. Recent cases of convicts returned to serve sentences delivered by foreign courts suggest that Zoé's Ark staffers would probably serve only about half of their sentences. They would also be spared hard labor, which...

...bigwig to pariah and back. Mbeki sacked him as Deputy President in 2005 when Zuma's financial adviser was convicted of soliciting a bribe for him in a French arms deal. Related charges were filed against Zuma on Dec. 14. And though he was acquitted in a rape trial in 2006, his testimony revealed shocking attitudes about sex and AIDS, including an admission that he had unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman but showered afterward to reduce the risk of infection...
Volz has always insisted that he was two hours away in the capital Managua at the time of the murder, and provided cell phone and IM chat-log records to prove his alibi - evidence that was dismissed by the judge presiding over his murder trial. Rodriguez, however, found that alibi more compelling, despite other inconsistencies in the case. "It's better to have 100 guilty people on the street than one innocent person in jail," Rodriguez told TIME...
