In a shocking case for the academic community, former University of Penn. Economics professor Rafael Robb has entered a guilty plea in the murder of his wife, Ellen, shortly before Christmas.

This is particulary good given the allegation that the crime scene was staged to look like a break-in.For the full story, click here
