WASHINGTON (AP) — In the hours before his arrest, as federal authorities zeroed in and secretly accumulated evidence, Cesar Sayoc was in his element: spinning classic and Top 40 hits in a nightclub where he'd found work as a DJ.

He almost certainly h...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Since the days of frontier justice, lawmakers in conservative Oklahoma have viewed harsh prison sentences as the politically expedient solution to crime, including nonviolent offenses. That approach has imposed a high price, leaving the state with the nation's highest incarceration rate, overcrowded prisons and skyrocketing costs. Now, after years of steady debate, there's growing agreement — even among conservatives — that changes are needed. But the fragile consensus has crashed headlong into a towering obstacle: the e...
