26 February 2019 is
another February day that seems to lack much significance. It is Theodore
Sturgeon’s birthday, at any rate. And it was the day Christopher Marlowe was
baptized, which is as close as we get to a birthday for most Elizabethan
writers. In the news I see that Steven Avery, the convicted murderer of
photographer Teresa Halbach, may get a new trial. I have mixed feelings on this
one; on the one hand it is hard to see how the guy can be innocent; on the
other the investigators seem to have really mismanaged things beyond all
reason. I don’t see how a new trial is likely to improve matters any, what with
key evidence being lost and/or contaminated and all. Still, it may be the best
that can be done at this stage.
