Last week's cover piece by Tucker Carlson, "Horror in the Court," told the story of Latrena Pixley, a 24-year-old Washington, D.C., woman who murdered her young daughter six years ago and was recently awarded custody of her 2- year-old son. Laura Blankman, a 27-year-old police trainee who has taken care of the boy during Pixley's incarceration, appealed the custody decision of Judge Michael D. Mason. The judge, in a sealed order, has now ruled that the boy must be returned to Pixley by April 18. The appeal will be heard in March or April.
