Kerry Max Cook is the longest tenured death row inmate in U.S. history to be freed. Tried three times for the rape and murder of a Texas neighbor, he served 22 years before DNA evidence proved he couldn’t have committed the crime.

Three teenagers are accused of digging up a corpse of a child of 11 years who died in 1921, then using his skull to smoke marijuana.

A Texas appeals court said Thursday that the state had no right to take more than 400 children from a polygamist sect’s ranch, a ruling that could unravel one of the biggest child-custody cases in U.S. history.

For the moment, the largest child custody case in recent history has been thrown into disarray — but this country’s admirable rule of law has been reaffirmed. That is as it should be.
