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Missouri rape law getting accidentally repealed.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.
