1. Suspects in 'Baby Doe' case due back in court<span style="color: Red;">*</span>
The suspects in the death of "Baby Doe"<span style="color: Red;">*</span>are due back in a Boston court for a preliminary hearing Tuesday.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The story of "Baby Doe" made international headlines after the 2 1/2-year-old's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>body was found tossed in a trash bag in June on the Boston Harbor shoreline. Authorities were unable to identify the little girl until late September, when a tip led them<span style="color: Red;">*</span>to identify her as Bella Bond. The girl's mother, Rachelle Bond and her boyfriend<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Michael McCarthy, were arraigned in a Boston district court in September. McCarthy was charged with Bella's murder, while Bond was charged as an accessory in her daughter's death.

2. Colorado city council to take up<span style="color: Red;">*</span>proposal to allow women to legally go topless
Women cannot legally go topless in Fort Collins, Colo., but men can. A<span style="color: Red;">*</span>proposal that will be considered Tuesday seeks to change that. While<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the exposure of female breasts is considered a definition of public indecency in the city's ordinance, the current law does not prohibit men from going shirtless in public.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The proposal is in response to requests from residents who say the current ordinance discriminates against women. Cities like Washington, D.C.; Asheville, N.C.; and Honolulu have all ruled for a woman's right to go topless, according to GoTopless.org.

3. Jim Webb has something to say about his presidential campaign
Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb, who complained repeatedly during the first Democratic debate about not getting enough speaking time, will consider running as an independent, his campaign announced. The decision may come sooner rather than later, as the former Virginia senator will hold a news conference Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET in Washington to discuss “his candidacy, the campaign and his views of the political parties in the current election cycle." A shift in party may not have much of an impact though, as Webb’s support in recent polls hasn’t broken 2%.
