Abstract: 

Cases reviewed include: Supreme Court of Wyoming rules that a defendant convicted of multiple sex crimes is not entitled to new trial based on victim’s recantation; the Eleventh Circuit determines that a “wrongfully removed” child in a contentious custody battle need not be returned under Hague Convention; on the opposite side of the coin the Second Circuit determines that a child ordered returned where no grave risk is found under Hague Convention, but the abused mother need not pay costs; a father argues that the custody statute unconstitutionally infringed on his fundamental right to parent his children, the court disagrees.
