Lionel Hutz would be proud

The Supreme Court today agreed with a man who wanted a statement his ex-wife gave to police not allowed as evidence, since he has the right to challenge witnesses. He can't challenge his ex-wife since he killed her. I'm no elitist lawyer but does a statement in a police report make someone a witness?

Also interesting in the Supreme Court recently:

-No death penalty for child rape
-Large reduction in compensation amount for Exxon-Valdez spill
-Agreed to hear case on whether muslims can sue gov't officials for being imprisoned after 9/11
-Turned down an Exxon appeal to stop an abuse case
-Re-affirmed Gitmo detainess's habeus rights
