GOING BACK AND GETTING IT RIGHT
By almost every measure, Paul Pfingst is an unntimental procutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams, 15, as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy, Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.
So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June, Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and e if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words, he wanted to revisit past victories--this time playing for the other team. "I think people misunderstand being conrvative for being biad," says Pfingst. "I consider mylf a pragmatic guy, and I have no
interest in putting innocent people in jail."
Around the U.S., flabbergasted defen attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among procutors, however, there was an awkward pau. After all, each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there's the unspoken risk: if dozens of innocents turn up, the D.A. will have indicted his shop.
But nine months later, no budgets have been busted or procutors ousted. Only the rare ca merits review. Pfingst's team considers convictions before 1993, when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cas if the defendant has been relead. Of the 560 remaining files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cas with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence.
They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man rving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt--too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits. By Amanda Ripley ez ncisco sijevic rtwell; Lisa McLaughlin; Joph Pierro; Josh

Or maybe astronomers will have to rethink their definition of "planet." Just becau we put heavenly objects into categories doesn't mean the distinctions are necessarily valid.

也许天文学家们必须重新思考他们对于“行星”的定义。我们把天体进行分类并不意味着我们的这种区分必然有效。正如特里梅因所说：“当你的分类模式开始不起作用的时候，你就知道你正在了解某些令人激动的事情。这是很有趣的。”
