| Executions to Resume in Md. Maryland's highest court yesterday ruled that a recent Supreme Court decision does not invalidate the state's capital punishment statute, clearing the way for executions to resume among the 10 men on death row. Nine months after the Court of Appeals halted Steven H. Oken's impending execution, the judges split 4 to 3 in denying his contention that Maryland's law was no longer constitutional. Oken's guilt was never in question, rather the standard of proof by which he was sentenced. Had the decision gone in his favor, it could have completely upended sentences for at least seven other inmates. Instead, Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) could soon begin deciding whether to move forward with an execution. Ehrlich, who took office in January vowing to lift a moratorium on capital punishment, declined to comment yesterday. Washington Post |

| I had no clue really just who/what would be behind all that. My first instinct were terrorists of middle eastern descent but that's just because of the political/social climate at that time. But the Timothy McVeigh's of the world surprised me back then to the point where I don't know what to expect anymore, so I just don't know.
