Question: What did the re-examined case show?

Answer: no evidence of arson

As she was dying, Ms. Quick told her daughter that she had lied about the men’s involvement in the fire. Mr. Hale said in an interview on Tuesday that Ms. Quick’s motives to lie may have included liability and an insurance payment that she received (though she testified at the men’s trial that she did not receive such a payment). A fire marshal found what he testified was evidence of arson, but Mr. Hale said evolving fire science meant that the 1980 analysis did not hold up today. <hl> Experts’ reports that Mr. Villalobos’s lawyer and the district attorney’s office commissioned as they re-examined the case showed no evidence of arson . <hl>

Question: How long have the 2 defendants been out on parole?

“Those are years that nothing in the world can give me back, no money, no nothing,” Mr. Vasquez said after the proceeding. “It’s just like I lost myself in prison, I lost 33 and a half years of my life. I went in at 30, I come out at 65, so...” Mr. Vasquez shook his head and his sentence trailed off. Mr. Villalobos, who like Mr. Vasquez has been out on parole since 2012, said he thought “all the time” that he would get his conviction vacated. In 2012, he contacted New York Law School, where Adele Bernhard, a law professor and director of the Post-Conviction Innocence Clinic, and her students worked on the case. Mr. Villalobos said he had been denied parole several times because he refused to show remorse for a crime he had not committed. Still, he said: “I’m not angry. Why would you be angry? I know they did something bad to me, but God is there.” His wife, Ernesta, who testified at his trial that she had been with him the night of the fire and who stayed with him throughout his time in prison, said she felt “happy, happy, happy, happy.” Eileen Mora, Mr. Mora’s daughter, said she had “some sweet memories” of her father, who died of a heart attack in 1989. “My father was a good man, and I’m glad we got to prove it today in court,” she said, her voice shaking. “There’s no better Christmas gift that I can get than to say that my dad was innocent, and now everybody knows.”

Question: Which Catholic magazine published Hannah Arendt essays and W.H. Audren's poetry?

In our neighborhood, we were the small family, at least among the Irish and Italians. A few doors down, there were 12 kids in one house, 14 in another. We could almost field a full baseball team. But the Flynns, they could put an entire football lineup on a snowy field at Thanksgiving, with reserves. My mother agonized over what to do. She was devout, though starting to read progressive Catholic magazines like Commonweal, which published the essays of Hannah Arendt and the poetry of W.H. Auden. We loved Robert F. Kennedy’s family: 11 kids, and Ethel looks great. Bobby himself was the seventh of nine. Of course, they had money, so it looked glamorous.

Question: How many sheriffs were one restricted duty?

Six Denver sheriff’s deputies are on restricted duty while the authorities investigate an episode at the downtown jail involving an inmate who later died. The authorities have refused to provide details about what led up to the death of the inmate, Michael Marshall, 50, who was removed from life support on Friday. The Nov. 11 episode happened in an entryway outside the jail pod where Mr. Marshall was held. He had been arrested Nov. 7 on allegations of trespassing and disturbing the peace. His relatives say they are frustrated that the authorities will not let them view video of what happened. The case comes a year after jurors awarded $4.65 million to the family of a homeless man who died in the jail in 2010.

Question: What did the federal judge do with Delta Air Lines' longstanding claim?

WASHINGTON —  Last week, with little notice, a federal judge here tossed out Delta Air Lines’ longstanding claim that the government’s export credit agency — which, among other things, provides loan guarantees to overseas airlines for the purchase of Boeing jets — was helping international competitors at the airline’s expense. Delta offered only a shrug. Judicial opinions aside, the continued existence of the Export-Import Bank turns more on bare-knuckle politics than on legal niceties. “We pursued all our options in court, but we’ve known all along this is going to be won or lost in Congress,” said Trebor Banstetter, a Delta spokesman in Atlanta.

Question: What is the main job of the Export-Import Bank?

The public faces of the Ex-Im Bank battle may be mom-and-pop exporters walking the hallways of Capitol Hill in support of the agency, and the ideological spear carriers of the conservative, free-market movement, like Club for Growth and the Heritage Foundation, in opposition. But those message makers mask a behind-the-scenes slugfest between two heavyweights, Boeing and Delta, which have narrower, bottom-line interests and very deep pockets. The normally obscure Export-Import Bank, whose main job is to help American businesses sell their goods and services abroad, will cease to exist on July 1 if Congress does not renew its authorization. Delta has spent nearly $10 million on lobbying since 2012, at least in part to kill the Ex-Im Bank or greatly diminish loan guarantees for Boeing customers abroad, according to lobby disclosure forms. Boeing has already put up more than $69 million over that same period on Ex-Im and other interests, according to the documents. “We have been lobbying a lot on this because it’s a very important issue for us,” said Tim Neale, Boeing’s government operations spokesman. “We know our business, and we know there are customers even in times of good credit availability that need a government loan guarantee.”

Question: Who organized Exporters for Ex-Im?

In Boeing’s defense, an army has massed. The United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, with Boeing’s help, have organized Exporters for Ex-Im, which has mobilized dozens of Boeing suppliers and other small companies to knock on Capitol Hill doors, call lawmakers and generally do the public work that the biggest recipients of Ex-Im help — Boeing, General Electric, Caterpillar and Applied Materials — avoid. Representatives of small businesses, like William Schubert, president of a small infrastructure export firm outside Houston, flooded the hallways of Congress in February and confronted usual Republican allies on the other side of the Ex-Im divide. But the so-called fly-in, from hotel reservations to meeting schedules, was arranged by professionals.

Question: What is Steven Spinola the president of?

“We’re going to support it, including the mansion tax,” said Steven Spinola, president of the real estate board. “We’re not happy about everything, but we think it will lead to building more affordable housing.” Mr. de Blasio has also been outspoken on another contentious affordable-housing issue — the need to strengthen rent regulations to preserve the city’s existing affordable-housing stock. His proposals still face a battle in Albany, which has been thrown into turmoil in recent months by the arrest on corruption-related charges of Sheldon Silver, a Democratic assemblyman and former speaker, and Dean G. Skelos, the Republican majority leader in the Senate. Both the 44-year-old 421-a housing program and the rent stabilization law, which governs rents for one million apartments in New York City, are set to expire on June 15.
