    "This is a tough place here, too. Anytime anything is questionable here in this park, it's always an error. So, naturally, our defensive numbers are always going to be lower because of (that). It's not like that in most ballparks."

    By 2005, where did it get the Packers? A 29-interception season and a 4-12 record.

    Nationally, about 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner each year, according to a U.S. Justice Department study published in 2000.

    Money plays far too great a role in American elections, from the municipal level all the way up to the U.S. Presidency. Large contributions from a few groups and individuals unduly influence who wins elections and reduce the role of ordinary voters in our democracy.

    NJ SPCA: Intruder beat dog to death with hammer

    LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP) _ An animal welfare group is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible for beating a dog to death during an attempted burglary.

    The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the incident happened Wednesday night in Lakewood.

    The dog was preventing somebody from entering through a window when an intruder took a hammer from inside the window and repeatedly struck the dog in the head.

    Those with information are asked to call 800-582-5979.

    JonBenet Ramsey case will get 3rd DA in 12 years
    By IVAN MORENO
    Associated Press Writer


    DENVER (AP) _ When district attorney candidate Stan Garnett checked his cell phone after a long flight last week, he had dozens of messages asking his opinion about the latest DNA tests in the JonBenet Ramsey case.

    The barrage of e-mails and voice mails reflects the scrutiny the case could bring Garnett, who appears likely to become Boulder County's third district attorney on the 12-year-old homicide.

    Garnett, 52, a Democrat, has no opposition in either party for the November election. He would replace Mary Lacy, who must step down in January because of term limits.

    What changes he might bring, if any, to the investigation are not clear.

    "I intend to treat the case like any other case, in that the DA's job is to take a very thoughtful, careful and clear-eyed view of the evidence and what can be proven in court," he said.

    JonBenet, a 6-year-old beauty queen, was found dead in the basement of her parents' Boulder home just after Christmas in 1996. Since then the investigation has undergone a series of jarring twists and public embarrassments but has never led to a trial or a conviction.

    Under Alex Hunter, the district attorney at the time, the investigation seemed to go nowhere. Hunter said John and Patsy Ramsey were under an "umbrella of suspicion," but a grand jury returned no indictments. Lou Smit, an investigator hired by Hunter for the case, resigned and proclaimed John and Patsy Ramsey innocent.

    Lacy was elected in 2000, after Hunter decided not to seek another term. She took the investigation away from police in 2002, promising to look at the evidence with "fresh eyes."

    By 2003, she began to poke holes in Hunter's umbrella of suspicion. She publicly agreed with a judge in a related defamation case who said the evidence pointed more toward an intruder than a family member as the killer.

    Lacy's tenure saw perhaps the most bizarre chapter in the investigation, the 2006 arrest and subsequent release of John Mark Karr. He claimed he was with JonBenet when she died, but DNA tests failed to put him at the crime scene.

    The case took a significant step forward last week when Lacy announced that male DNA found on JonBenet's clothes almost certainly came from her killer and that the killer was an outsider.

    Lacy publicly exonerated JonBenet's family and said she was sorry for the years of suspicion they endured.

    Patsy Ramsey did not live to hear the apology; she died of cancer in 2006.

    Authorities say the DNA doesn't match any profiles in state or national databases. But both databases are growing, and investigators say a match may be found one day.
