Jack Farrell is central and visible, so anyone walking by could see cops and kids playing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLK Park, by contrast, is so hidden that the city has put up a half-dozen signs with arrows leading visitors through the neighborhood to the park. The entrance is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and most of the park faces the San Francisco Bay. That makes it harder for residents to notice that more people, and police, are using the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public Health Approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fit Zones are about reducing shootings, but also about improving health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that communities like East Palo Alto suffer from high chronic disease rates as well as high crime,” said Gaines. “Assuming people are less active in East Palo Alto out of fear, we asked, 'Can we do something that addresses both?' And the answer was Fit Zones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence credits the city's police chief at the time, Ron Davis, for implementing the program. Davis thought \"the police department had a role to play in the health of residents,” said Lawrence. “He is a visionary guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Palo Alto, shootings are down, and people at Bell Street Park said that a safe place to play has helped them improve their own health. A 14-year-old girl named Paluteia was playing volleyball after rock-band practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my family is overweight,” she said, but “seeing other people work out, it's motivating. I can do more, and there are other people who will do it with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I started, I was 397 pounds,” said Smokey, another regular. “I weighed myself last Saturday, and I was 332 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, health indicators are much worse in East Palo Alto than in the surrounding affluent cities.

But we’re in the light, we’re saying hello.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just like regular people. They come play games, they mess up, they do good,” said Carl Mitchell, a high school student. “At least while they’re here, they’re acting good, let's say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cops’ attitudes may also be changing. “I’ve really seen a shift in the police officers' perspective,” said Lawrence. When the program started, she interviewed participating cops. “I asked why they were doing it, and quite frankly a lot of them said, ‘I’m getting paid to exercise.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” said Lawrence, “those same officers are saying, ‘These are my kids,’ and really taking ownership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Lee, an East Palo Alto police officer, struck up a conversation with a 5-year-old boy who was poking at a dead opossum during a FIT Zone event. As they were chatting, Lee realized, “I knew his dad from the streets. He was a known drug dealer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy's father had been murdered on Michigan Avenue, next to Jack Farrell Park, the same block where Lee and the boy now both ride bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had personally taken his dad's homicide report,\" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee has his own kids, so he could appreciate how sharp the boy was for his age, how bright a future he could have, given a chance. \"Imagining this child's future,\" Lee says, was \"one of the most powerful things I've felt.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jack Farrell is central and visible, so anyone walking by could see cops and kids playing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLK Park, by contrast, is so hidden that the city has put up a half-dozen signs with arrows leading visitors through the neighborhood to the park. The entrance is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and most of the park faces the San Francisco Bay.

And the answer was Fit Zones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence credits the city's police chief at the time, Ron Davis, for implementing the program. Davis thought \"the police department had a role to play in the health of residents,” said Lawrence. “He is a visionary guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Palo Alto, shootings are down, and people at Bell Street Park said that a safe place to play has helped them improve their own health. A 14-year-old girl named Paluteia was playing volleyball after rock-band practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my family is overweight,” she said, but “seeing other people work out, it's motivating. I can do more, and there are other people who will do it with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I started, I was 397 pounds,” said Smokey, another regular. “I weighed myself last Saturday, and I was 332 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, health indicators are much worse in East Palo Alto than in the surrounding affluent cities.

But we’re in the light, we’re saying hello.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just like regular people. They come play games, they mess up, they do good,” said Carl Mitchell, a high school student. “At least while they’re here, they’re acting good, let's say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cops’ attitudes may also be changing. “I’ve really seen a shift in the police officers' perspective,” said Lawrence. When the program started, she interviewed participating cops. “I asked why they were doing it, and quite frankly a lot of them said, ‘I’m getting paid to exercise.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” said Lawrence, “those same officers are saying, ‘These are my kids,’ and really taking ownership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Lee, an East Palo Alto police officer, struck up a conversation with a 5-year-old boy who was poking at a dead opossum during a FIT Zone event. As they were chatting, Lee realized, “I knew his dad from the streets.

The blaze burned for two months, scorching 400 square miles, destroying 11 homes and costing $125 million to fight. It ranks as California's third-largest wildfire and the largest in the recorded history of the Sierra Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors said that without testimony from the two witnesses, they did not believe they could prove the allegations to jurors beyond a reasonable doubt. Previous statements made by the two witnesses can't be used in court, prosecutors said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I understand that the government's motion to dismiss will be frustrating to some,\" U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said in a statement, thanking U.S. Forest Service investigators for their work. \"It is our obligation to the defendant and to the court to dismiss that case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emerald, a resident of the Mother Lode town of Columbia (Tuolumne County), had been bow hunting for deer when he was rescued near the site of the fire's origin by a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection helicopter crew. Investigators had said that in several interviews, Emerald gave them inconsistent stories about how the fire started and once acknowledged starting a campfire that got out of control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other times, they said, Emerald described causing a rockslide that sparked the flames, and he also blamed the fire on illegal marijuana growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A grand jury handed down a four-count indictment nearly a year after the fire that included charges of lying to investigators and starting a forest fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emerald's defense team had sought to suppress his statements, saying they were coerced. A message requesting comment from Emerald's public defender, Janet Bateman, was not immediately returned. Colleagues said she was not in the office on Friday.

Ian Furminger, who was sentenced in February to three years and five months in prison. Furminger is also at the center of a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/13/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\" target=\"_blank\">racist and homophobic text messaging scandal\u003c/a> that has rocked the SFPD since mid-March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi said in a statement that he is pleased with the FBI's involvement and commended Mirkarimi for taking the unusual step of inviting the federal probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Eliminating this sort of brutal and sadistic conduct starts by leading an investigation that isn't tainted by conflict of interest or misplaced loyalty,\" Adachi said. \"I look forward to a thorough and fair investigation that includes determining whether additional deputies were aware of the abuse and complicit in their silence. To ensure this never happens again, there must be accountability -- not only for the perpetrators, but for those who fail to speak up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi said last month that his office first learned of the allegations when then-inmate Ricardo Garcia's father contacted a deputy public defender, concerned for his son's safety. Garcia at first didn't want to speak up, Adachi said, but then more inmates started contacting his office. So the public defender enlisted an independent private investigator, Barry Simon, to look into the claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon interviewed five inmates total. Two said they were forced to fight each other, and two others corroborated parts of their statements. The fifth inmate told investigators that Neu had sex with a civilian employee in the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia told Adachi in a recorded interview made public in late March that he was scared for his life in the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10485642\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10485642\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi plays audio on March 26 from a phone conversation with former city jail inmate Ricardo Garcia, who said sheriffs' deputies in the jail forced him to fight another inmate for entertainment and bets.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi-320x240.jpg 320w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Adachi.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi plays audio on March 26 from a phone conversation with former city jail inmate Ricardo Garcia, who said sheriff's deputies in the jail forced him to fight another inmate for entertainment and bets. \u003ccite>(Alex Emslie/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know when they're gonna come and, you know, try to basically attack or anything,\" he said. \"I'm kind of walking on eggshells.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley Harris said in a separate recorded conversation with Adachi that he was forced to fight Garcia twice, and that Neu often harassed him, forcing him to do pushups to \"train for another fight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both said Neu threatened to handcuff and beat them if they didn't fight.

"content": "\u003cp>\"Baltimore, we've got your back!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was one of the chants shouted by a small group of activists marching through the streets of Oakland on Monday night. They came out to express solidarity with protesters in Baltimore, where riots have followed the death and funeral of \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/the-mysterious-death-of-freddie-gray/391119/\">Freddie Gray\u003c/a>, a 25-year-old African American man who apparently suffered fatal injuries while in police custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some marchers handed out fliers to bystanders that promoted another day of protest against police violence this Friday, May Day, when members of Occupy Oakland and workers at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/04/port-oakland-may-day-police-shootings-shut-down.html\">Port of Oakland\u003c/a> are planning to shut down operations there and join other demonstrations happening across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Oakland protesters marched peacefully through streets in downtown and West Oakland while bicyclists cleared the path ahead of the group of roughly 75 to 100 people. Police kept their distance and stood by to monitor, as some protesters flipped them off and yelled expletives in their direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group marched past City Hall and blocked the intersection of 14th Street and Broadway. Many stood and chatted, while some used a bullhorn to call for more action. Eventually, protesters made their way down Broadway to Oakland Police Department headquarters, and shortly thereafter most participants went their separate ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one group marched back north to the Uptown district, where windows were smashed at the Dogwood bar and restaurant at 17th Street and Telegraph Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owner Alexeis Filipello said Tuesday she wasn't present at the time, but got a call from one of her bartenders. She said she was told someone masked and wearing all black took a hammer to the bar's large windows -- at least the fourth smashed window inflicted on her bar during a protest since it opened four years ago, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're so used to dealing with the protest stuff,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn't make it any easier. Filipello supported the Occupy movement, she said. She supported the essence of Monday's protest, too, which in part rallied against disproportionate police killings of minority people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You guys don't get that I am totally in support,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Filipello said she weighs the cost of doing business in a city that is growing and wants to be better, despite its many systemic problems, and people who show they're frustrated by attacking her bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers at the Port of Oakland are planning to shut down the port Friday during its first shift from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to protest police violence, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/04/port-oakland-may-day-police-shootings-shut-down.html\">San Francisco Business Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the request of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10, its monthly labor meeting has been moved. That time will instead reportedly be used to rally against police violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The temporary suspension isn't expected to have lasting effect on port operations,\" said Mike Zampa, spokesman for the Port of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The port will reopen for its second shift, he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They came out to express solidarity with protesters in Baltimore, where riots have followed the death and funeral of \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/the-mysterious-death-of-freddie-gray/391119/\">Freddie Gray\u003c/a>, a 25-year-old African American man who apparently suffered fatal injuries while in police custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some marchers handed out fliers to bystanders that promoted another day of protest against police violence this Friday, May Day, when members of Occupy Oakland and workers at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/04/port-oakland-may-day-police-shootings-shut-down.html\">Port of Oakland\u003c/a> are planning to shut down operations there and join other demonstrations happening across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Oakland protesters marched peacefully through streets in downtown and West Oakland while bicyclists cleared the path ahead of the group of roughly 75 to 100 people. Police kept their distance and stood by to monitor, as some protesters flipped them off and yelled expletives in their direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group marched past City Hall and blocked the intersection of 14th Street and Broadway. Many stood and chatted, while some used a bullhorn to call for more action. Eventually, protesters made their way down Broadway to Oakland Police Department headquarters, and shortly thereafter most participants went their separate ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said she was told someone masked and wearing all black took a hammer to the bar's large windows -- at least the fourth smashed window inflicted on her bar during a protest since it opened four years ago, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're so used to dealing with the protest stuff,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn't make it any easier.

"content": "\u003cp>People have been lining up outside the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/shermancourt/status/591720287818948608\">for days\u003c/a> hoping that they will be among the lucky ones to get a seat for Tuesday's historic arguments on gay marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of now, gay marriage is legal in 36 states. By the end of this Supreme Court term, either same-sex couples will be able to wed in all 50 states, or gay marriage bans may be reinstituted in many of the states where they've previously been struck down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday's Supreme Court arguments focus on two questions: First, whether bans on gay marriage are constitutional; and second, if they are, whether those states with bans may refuse to recognize out-of-state gay marriages performed where they are legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"PkjnTtzffR7iuVGDzzJWQzSmPrpYTCmF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court has scheduled an extraordinary 2½ hours of argument and will make the audio available online later Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four states — Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky — are defending their bans. They won their cases in the lower court, and because other appeals courts threw out bans enacted in other states, the Supreme Court now must resolve the conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-stakes legal battle is the culmination of a decades-long struggle in the courts, state legislatures and at the ballot box. During that time, public opinion has changed, and has done so more rapidly — and dramatically — than on any major social issue in memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, public opinion polls showed, on average, only 27 percent of the public favored legalization; this year, although many states still adamantly resist gay marriage, public opinion polls put the approval number nationally at well over 50 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday's courtroom battle pits states' rights against the fundamental right to marry; it pits the traditional definition of marriage against a more modern definition; and it pits majority rights against minority rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the court are the consolidated cases of 12 couples and two widowers. Among them are nurses, teachers, veterinarians, an Army sergeant and businessmen and women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many call themselves \"accidental activists,\" because they filed lawsuits not to further a cause but because of the way the bans affected their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Michigan, for instance, Jayne Rowse and April DeBoer have four adopted children, two with disabilities. Because the state does not allow same-sex couples to adopt, but does allow single people to adopt, each of the women has adopted two of the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a marriage,\" says DeBoer. \"We just don't have a piece of paper that legally binds us to each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wake-up call about their legal status came on a two-lane highway one snowy night when a truck traveling in the wrong lane veered into a field to avoid hitting them head-on. After that harrowing near-miss, they started putting wills and trusts into place to protect the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was one thing they couldn't do: make sure that if one of them died, the other would get custody of the two children who had been formally adopted by the deceased parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A judge could award that child to someone else,\" says Rowse, \"effectively making them a legal stranger to the child they've helped raise since birth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to challenge the state adoption laws, they challenged the ban on gay marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the other plaintiffs in Tuesday's case are, like Rowse and DeBoer, people who adopted or had children by artificial insemination; some couples were legally married in another state but now live in a state that bans gay marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette defends his state's ban as an example of democratic rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Who decides: the courts or the voters?\" Schuette asks, rhetorically. \"There are 2.7 million people — voters — who made this decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But gay-marriage advocate Mary Bonauto counters that this country does not put the fundamental constitutional rights of minorities to a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>This is not about self-government or persuading voters,\" argues Bonauto. \"It's about the Constitution and whether, constitutionally, same-sex couples can be denied the right to marry that all other Americans enjoy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing against her Tuesday will be lawyer John Bursch, representing Michigan and the other states. His task is to convince the justices that Michigan has a rational justification for banning gay marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really not possible to say that the marriage definition Michigan has had since 1805, when it was still a territory before statehood, has all this time been irrational,\" Bursch says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonauto replies that it doesn't really matter what people thought at the time the Constitution was written because the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, guarantees \"equal protection of the laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And this is a court that has recognized time and again that we have to look at current conditions in deciding what equality means,\" Bonauto adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the Supreme Court has repeatedly said that marriage is a fundamental right that the state cannot abridge without some real justification. It has said that prisoners have the right to marry, and so do people too poor to make child support payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And most famously, in 1967, the court struck down state bans on interracial marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what are the justifications offered by the states? They cite procreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Michigan has a legitimate interest in encouraging opposite-sex couples to enter into permanent, exclusive unions within which to have and raise children,\" argues Bursch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonauto counters that Michigan allows heterosexual couples to marry even if they are infertile, too old to have children or don't want to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bursch cites other justifications, arguing that men and women bring different attributes to childrearing in a marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having that diversity of both the mother and a father can be a good thing for children,\" Bursch says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonauto will tell the justices that by denying same-sex couples the right to marry, states are imposing concrete hardships. Because they are not considered one family, unmarried same-sex couples have to buy two health insurance plans to cover themselves and their children; if one of them should die, the other partner and his or her adopted children are not entitled to Social Security benefits. And indeed, the parent whose name is not on the adoption papers could lose custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Denying same-sex couples marriage means that you are increasing the number of children who are raised outside of marriage,\" Bonauto says. The bans in turn deny \"a whole class of children that security, that protection\" of marriage, \"and tell these children and their parents that they \"are not worthy of this most important relationship in life,\" Bonauto says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bursch replies that the states are not trying to disparage anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It comes down to who gets to decide between competing marriage models, which many people feel very strongly about,\" Bursch argues. He reiterates that the choice is up to the electorate, \"and if the courts start imposing their own view of what marriage should be, that's going to do huge damage to the democratic liberty principle that has always animated our Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second question being debated in the Supreme Court Tuesday is whether states that ban same-sex marriage may refuse to recognize legal marriages performed out of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The standard bearer for the recognition cases, and indeed, all the cases, is widower Jim Obergefell. Because his lawsuit was filed first, all of the consolidated cases are known as \u003cem>Obergefell v. Hodges\u003c/em> (Richard Hodges is the Ohio official in charge of death certificates).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is the death certificate of Obergefell's longtime partner that is at the center of the recognition question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obergefell and John Arthur were together for 20 years. But by 2013, Arthur was bedridden and dying of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). On June 26, the two men were watching TV as news flashed across the screen that the Supreme Court had struck down the federal law barring the national government from recognizing gay marriages performed in states where they are legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just immediately leaned over, hugged him, gave him a kiss and said, let's get married,\" Obergefell recalls. \"It just seemed like the most perfect thing possible to do at the moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends and family quickly raised the money for a medical charter to Maryland, where gay marriage is legal. The couple exchanged vows as the plane sat on the tarmac and then headed back to Cincinnati.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few days later, though, the two would learn that Ohio would not recognize Jim as a surviving spouse on John's death certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was heartbreaking,\" Obergefell says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge, acting on an expedited basis because of John's health, ordered the state of Ohio to record Jim as the surviving spouse when the time came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three months and 11 days later, John Arthur died, and Obergefell's name was listed as the surviving spouse on the death certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state appealed, and if it wins in the Supreme Court, it can reissue the death certificate without Obergefell's name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Supreme Court Tuesday, gay-marriage advocate Douglas Hallward-Driemeier will tell the justices that states have long recognized each other's marriages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The history of state recognition of marriage is that a marriage that was valid where it was celebrated is going to be recognized in the new state, even if that couple could not have gotten married in that state,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason for that is that people travel across state lines all the time, and their marriage travels with them. It doesn't matter, notes Hallward-Driemeier, that the wife, for instance, is too young to get married in some of the states a couple may subsequently live in or travel through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four states defending their gay-marriage bans also defend their anti-recognition laws, but lawyers for the four declined to be interviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kyle Duncan, who represents 15 other states with nonrecognition laws, argues that the issue of gay marriage is unique, especially in the context of the state's prerogative to define and regulate marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Before 2003, no state in the United States had recognized same-sex marriage,\" Duncan says. Indeed, before 2000 no country in the world had recognized same-sex marriage, he observes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's that new and it involves this bedrock exercise of sovereignty by states,\" Duncan argues, \"it seems to us the right position is to say, then let the states figure it out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decision in the case is expected by the end of June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

The couple exchanged vows as the plane sat on the tarmac and then headed back to Cincinnati.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few days later, though, the two would learn that Ohio would not recognize Jim as a surviving spouse on John's death certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was heartbreaking,\" Obergefell says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge, acting on an expedited basis because of John's health, ordered the state of Ohio to record Jim as the surviving spouse when the time came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three months and 11 days later, John Arthur died, and Obergefell's name was listed as the surviving spouse on the death certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state appealed, and if it wins in the Supreme Court, it can reissue the death certificate without Obergefell's name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Supreme Court Tuesday, gay-marriage advocate Douglas Hallward-Driemeier will tell the justices that states have long recognized each other's marriages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The history of state recognition of marriage is that a marriage that was valid where it was celebrated is going to be recognized in the new state, even if that couple could not have gotten married in that state,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason for that is that people travel across state lines all the time, and their marriage travels with them. It doesn't matter, notes Hallward-Driemeier, that the wife, for instance, is too young to get married in some of the states a couple may subsequently live in or travel through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four states defending their gay-marriage bans also defend their anti-recognition laws, but lawyers for the four declined to be interviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kyle Duncan, who represents 15 other states with nonrecognition laws, argues that the issue of gay marriage is unique, especially in the context of the state's prerogative to define and regulate marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Before 2003, no state in the United States had recognized same-sex marriage,\" Duncan says. Indeed, before 2000 no country in the world had recognized same-sex marriage, he observes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's that new and it involves this bedrock exercise of sovereignty by states,\" Duncan argues, \"it seems to us the right position is to say, then let the states figure it out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The full court has never sat on a case since it began using the “limited en banc” panels in 1980.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors also could petition the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wendy Thurm, a sports journalist and attorney, told KQED she wasn’t surprised by the 9th Circuit’s action. “A lot of observers, including myself, were surprised that the original appellate court did uphold a conviction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know how much this is going to change public opinion, though. A lot of people think he’s a bad guy, a lot of people have drawn their own conclusions about what he did or didn’t do, whether he should be in the Hall of Fame. That debate will continue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame is limited to members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, and Thurm said she doesn’t think many of the writers who voted against Bonds in the past did so because of his conviction. “It’s much more focused on their belief that he did take steroids, and that in their view, that disqualifies him. So I don’t think this 9th Circuit decision opens the door for him to waltz into the Hall of Fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what it does do is open up the door for him to have a more public relationship with the Giants organization going forward. He was a spring training instructor last year, he was even at the Giants game last night. That could be part of a goodwill effort to try to change people’s minds about the Hall of Fame. But also, the Giants are now in a position to embrace Bonds for who he was. His home run record and his chase for the record kind of built AT&T Park, and filled that ballpark in the first five or six years that it was open, even as the team’s record itself had started to wane. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the opinion:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/262762988/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-Fci4r05ckYCa4tDUUPdS&show_recommendations=false\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7729220222793488\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_51464\" width=\"800\" height=\"1066\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story, July 1, 2014\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted Barry Bonds’ request for a rehearing of a challenge to his conviction for obstruction of justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/07/01/11-10669%20EB%20order.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a one-paragraph order issued Tuesday\u003c/a>, the court said a special panel of 11 judges would look again at the 2011 guilty verdict.

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
