LAKE ANDES, S.D. Faith Spotted Eagle is used to people asking what is next.
The list of causes to support is never-ending, and even if she reached the bottom, another would surely arise. But each time Spotted Eagle can cross an item off the list, it is more time available to be spent with her grandchildren.
For the past 13 years, the 72-year-old Yankton Sioux Tribal member has battled in courtrooms, stood along pipelines and protested in front of Trump Tower in hopes of halting the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

There are two principal methods of collecting data on crime in the United States, crimes reported to law enforcement from the FBI; and the National Crime Victimization Survey from the Bureau Of Justice Statistics based on a census-like national survey to get an approximate count of all crime. The report (link below) and my website Crime in America provide further explanations.
Any account of crime in the United States is principally based on these two methods of data collection (there are others like Gallup and specific research efforts).
As to a need for a national survey to gauge all crime, 41 percent of violent crimes (a considerable decrease from previous years) are reported to law enforcement. It’s much less for property crime. Only a survey can answer questions as to “all” crime.

A Black man who wrongfully served 26 years on death row in the killing of a White woman is now free

Howard was initially tied to the crime by a doctor who compared bite marks on Kemp’s body to Howard’s teeth. But in August, the Mississippi Supreme Court recognized that bite-mark comparisons were not enough to tie him to the murder, and stated that “an individual perpetrator cannot be reliably identified through bite-mark comparison.”
