Portrayed by Tom Hanks, a grieving widower, Otto is often right about his grievances. Why should he pay for six feet of rope and waste a few extra cents when he bought just five? Why shouldn't he warn inconsiderate drivers who often block garage doors or entitled neighbors who can't remember to close a gate and respect basic rules about trash disposal?

The governor of Alabama has granted clemency to a man on death row for three decades, a rare move that spares the accomplice in a 1991 murder from execution. Governor Kay Ivey, in announcing her commutation of Charles Burton's death sentence, said she could not ''proceed in good conscience'' with the execution because he was not the shooter. She said his sentence will now be life in prison without parole. The governor of Alabama has granted clemency to a man on death row for three decades, a rare move that spares the accomplice in a 1991 murder from execution. Governor Kay Ivey, in announcing her commutation of Charles Burton's death sentence, said she could not ''proceed in good conscience'' with the execution because he was not the shooter. She said his sentence will now be life in prison without parole. In 1991, Burton was one of six men involved in the robbery of a AutoZone store in Talladega that ended with the murder of a customer, Doug Battle. Burton admits to entering the store, stealing cash, then fleeing to a getaway car. His accomplice, Derrick DeBruce, shot and killed Battle. Under a convenient law called ''Felony Murder'', prosecutors can charge anyone involved, even remotely, with the murder. Locked up for 35 years, they are now going to execute him. Sonny Burton did not kill anyone.

''CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS!'' rang through all quarters of the city. So wrote Henryk Sienkiewicz in his novel Quo Vadis (1895). By the end of the 19th century, the image of cowering Christians awaiting their deaths as lions prowled towards them was the defining symbol of Roman religious persecution and the subject of many famous paintings. The 1951 Hollywood version of Quo Vadis, starring Peter Ustinov and Deborah Kerr, enshrined this grisly scenario in popular culture.
