BOSTON — A veteran criminal defense attorney says the state's case against a teen criminally accused of goading her boyfriend into making good on his suicidal threats will be a difficult one for prosecutors, noting that there's been "nothing else like it."
"I'm quite confident that prosecutors, at least in Massachusetts, have never encountered a case quite like this," said Kerri Quintal, a Massachusetts attorney who has practiced law for 19 years.
(CNSNews.com) – A Gallup poll released Friday revealed that the majority of Americans (70 percent) believe that college admissions should be based solely on merit and that a person's racial/ethnic background should not be a factor.
The survey found that 50 percent of blacks agreed that merit should be the sole factor in admissions, while 44 percent believed that race/ethnicity should be a factor, compared with 29 percent of Hispanics and 22 percent of whites who thought race should be a factor.
