Gideon

Half-way through the week and here's what we've been reading up on for the day:

• Are you also upset about CNN's coverage of the Steubenville rape case?  Sign this petition and demand an apology. [Change.org]
• 50 years following Gideon v. Wainwright, the decision to allow defendants the right to council hasn't brought justice-for-all as some hoped it would. [Colorlines]
• Move over, Westboro Baptist Church.  There are some new neighbors in town, and their freshly painted, rainbow-colored house outshines yours. [Salon]
