Determinism and the case of Jamie Bulger
HT: Sarah Kramer.
Is there a universal, common-sense, belief in free will?
What the argument doesn't mention, of course, is whether this belief in free will can be construed in compatibilist terms. I don't think it captures the underlying intuition, myself.
Just so you know, I am not claiming that this disproves Calvinism.

W.T. Stace's article "Compatibilism" argues that a common sense understanding of free will is compatibilist, but then again, this was written some time ago so he doesn't have the benefit of folk studies by experimental philosophers, etc.
