the process they bonded hector becerra two los angeles police detectives arrived one day in 1987 to inform bill and diana ware that their daughter barbara had been found fatally shot her body dumped in a back alley in south los angeles the detectives carried hard presumptions about why she died diana ware said and so did her husband it was 1987 during the height of the crack epidemic barbara 23 had battled drugs for years bill ware assumed she was killed in some type of dispute over drugs it would be more than 20 years before the truth came out barbara ware had been the third known victim of a serial killer now called the grim sleeper by then her father was dead and he never learned the true circumstances of her killing maybe it s a good thing he never found out the truth diana ware said but i think that in a way maybe it would have been better last week lonnie david franklin jr 57 was arrested by lapd investigators and charged with 10 counts of murder involving women killed over more than two decades detectives are examining at least 30 other unsolved slayings in south l.a to see if they can link them to the grim sleeper the arrest was viewed as a triumph not only of detective work but also of the emerging dna technology that had allegedly tied franklin to the killings through a son who was incarcerated but it was also a tribute to the victims families who exerted pressure

the bush-era crackdown on foul language on broadcast television and radio a federal appeals court tuesday struck down the government s near-zero-tolerance indecency policy as a violation of the 1st amendment protection of free speech the ruling is a major victory for the broadcast tv networks which jointly sued the federal communications commission in 2006 the case was triggered by unscripted expletives uttered by u2 s bono cher and nicole richie on awards shows earlier in the decade and the court s decision calls into question the fcc s regulation of foul language and other indecent content on the public airwaves it does make it much harder for the fcc to regulate this area said eugene volokh a ucla law professor who specializes in 1st amendment law he called the ruling a very important decision whose ultimate fate could rest with the u.s supreme court a three-judge panel of the u.s 2nd circuit court of appeals did not have the power to strike down the 1978 supreme court
