The criminal-case backlog swamping the Suffolk County DA's Office is so bad that a special Superior Court session has convened to hear homicide cases that have been languishing for years. That's a good thing, but it's not going to solve the underlying problems. David Bernstein reports.

In "Savage Love," Dan is spreading the word.

In "Out There," Alan Olifson reports on an awesome holiday.
