In 1993, Jeff Mizanskey was sentenced to life in prison without parole for non-violent drug charges. He was a third time offender and with that Missouri gave him a harsh punishment. He has now served over 20 years in jail and has watched violent criminals convicted of rape, murder, and kidnapping complete their sentences and go free.

Just as soon as it began, spring practice concluded last Saturday for the Notre Dame football team, with a somewhat uneventful game that ended up with a 17-7 Blue victory over the Gold. We learned a lot of things about the upcoming Irish football team--they are good at quarterback and the running backs are as talented as they’ve had in at least a decade--but there are questions that continue to loom over them like dark clouds on the horizon. To be fair, spring practice isn’t the type of exercise…
