Realized that I had never followed up on my earlier posting about the Missouri rape law getting accidentally repealed. What finally happened was that the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the new "omnibus crime bill", which had, in its final printed version, erroneously included a revocation of the statute that made rape illegal, was itself invalid. The grounds were that the bill the governor signed was not, in fact, the exact same bill passed by the legislature. So the old rape law stands untouched. They will just re-do the new legislation in the next session. Will
