New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group.

| Indians' protestors win one and lose one in circuit court decision. |

Demonstrators angry over the use of Chief Wahoo as a mascot for the Cleveland Indians have won one and lost one before a federal court. The 6th Circuit Court ruled that the Gateway Complex, where Jacobs Field is located, could exclude all protestors and solicitors, but only under very strict circumstances. But the court also ruled that the sidewalks surrounding "The Jake" are public, not private property. The ACLU's Carrie Davis says it's difficult to determine what this will mean in the long-term. The case stems from a protest during the Indians' home opener in 2000. Because it's been sent back for retrial in district court, it could be years before a final decision is reached on the First Amendment rights of the protestors versus Gateway's rights to keep them away. |
