CNN appears to have bet on the emotions of those it could show on camera -- for obvious reasons, the victim's identity has been protected, and the victim's family was not shown weeping in court.

The big question for the future is: Will younger voters remain Democrats as they grow older or, when they become fogies, will they also become Republicans?
'People appreciate me for being unapologetically black, unapologetically truthful and unapologetically Christian.'
While support for working women in theory may pervade, so do daily struggles to balance work and family. Efforts to improve preschool options could greatly ease these hardships.
