Ritter, who has reviewed and publicly praised the archdiocesan sexual misconduct policy, outlined the laws governing sexual abuse, and the responsibilities of citizens and Church authorities in identifying, reporting and preventing such crimes.
A bill recently passed by the Colorado House and Senate and signed into law by Gov. Bill Owens added clergy to those who are required to report suspected abuse of a child to civil authorities.
Ritter noted that this had already been the voluntary policy of the archdiocese for the past 11 years - a proactive approach "that was extraordinary." State law also recently changed to give more time to those who experienced sex abuse as minors to file charges, Ritter said.

 John Edward on 20/20
Ritter, then, was evidently not an impartial reporter, but someone who was out to get Edward right from the start, and who had already tried to "expose" him once before.
I was pleased that Ritter then invited Michael Shermer, founder of the Skeptics Society, to comment on Edward's 'cold reading.' Shermer says that so-called psychics rely on unleashing lots of numbers, names, illnesses, events-things that are bound to resonate with at least someone-until he finds a 'hit.' Then audiences are impressed.
Ritter told me that he thought Edward was much more sociable with the camera crew, jovial really, mixing it up with them on the breaks, etc. (almost used car salesman-like--my description), whereas Van Praagh, he said, was much more reserved and kept to himself.

His credentials and background are as impressive as that of Ritter’s - and he comes to a much different conclusion: Tierney believes Iraq, at the very least, has facilities to produce components for nuclear weapons, right now.
Like Ritter, he has no hard proof, but he does take evidence and facts as they are now, and has reasoned there is a hidden uranium enriching processing facility near the Tigris River.
But if Scott Ritter, and those who believe Iraq is ‘contained’ and should be left alone to the inabilities of the U.N., are wrong, the downside is in all likelihood catastrophe.

 Full text of the Whites' letter
The district attorney and Ramsey defense attorneys started early in the investigation to condition the public to believe that these delays and the lack of a prosecution have resulted almost entirely from initial police bungling of the case and the noncooperation of witnesses.
Such reports could go a long way toward dispelling doubts like those that still linger over the DIA and Truax investigations, and by providing all witnesses with safeguards against disclosures that might damage or embarrass them, still preserve the confidentiality that is both the armor and the engine of the grand jury process.
The original draft of the bill was presented to the House Judiciary Committee by Representative Kaufman at a hearing on January 21, 1997, long after the Ramsey case had exploded into a national news story amid growing suspicions of police mishandling of the case.
