"Life from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbs.
The deadlock jury and the Lindsey Clancy case in Massachusetts went home today without reaching
“a verdict in her trial over the killing of her three children in 2023.”
They'll continue deliberations tomorrow. Today there was a bit of commotion in the courtroom that Rebecca from Member Station W.B.U.R. has more." "We got worried that there was a note from the jury. Judge William Sullivan convened court and questioned each of the twelve jurors individually
under oath. He then had a sidebar with both the prosecutors and Clancy's Defense Attorney Kevin Reddington. Now, Reddington appeared angry because we can't hear any of this. He brings Clancy up to the sidebar in her wheelchair so the jurors face her while they
are being questioned. The judge then called in the entire jury, read them further instructions about reasonable doubt, and the jury went back to deliberate, and then they were sent home about a half-hour later."
“Deborah Becker reporting "Loyers for former FBI director Jim Colmy are urging a judge”
to dismiss criminal charges against him. If he was Kerry Johnson reports, they argued he didn't threaten President Trump when he posted an image of C-shells online." Colmy's lawyer saying no reasonable person could interpret the photo of shells that spell out the numbers 86-47 as a true threat on the life of the president.
Rather they say Colmy was making a political statement about the need to get rid of President Trump using common restaurant slang.
They say the languages core speech protected by the first amendment.
Colmy later deleted the post and apologized after hearing his message could be misconstrued. The Justice Department says Colmy was trying to "jin up controversy to sell his novel when he made the Instagram post last year." DOJ Lawyer says they have not been influenced by Trump, who's openly pushed for coming to face prosecution, Kerry Johnson and PR news.
Fox News has ousted veteran reporter Maria Bartiromo after 12 and a half years. She came to Fox with a record as an accomplished markets reporter, and the Trump era however, she ended up featured heavily in some of Fox's most stinging scandals, as him here's David Folk and Flip reports. Maria Bartiromo arrived at Fox Business Network in 2014 after two decades at CNBC, providing
the young conservative financial channel some credibility. She became a mainstay of both Fox Business Network and Sister Channel Fox News, hosting 16 and a half hours weekly until now. Bartiromo alight herself closely with President Trump, and embraced his lies about fraud in the 2020 elections.
She ended up being named as a defendant in two multi-billion-dollar defamation suits. Their statements made about election tech companies.
Fox paid nearly $800 million to settle one of those cases, the second case is ongoing.
Bartiromo made no mention of her pending departure on one turned out to be her last show. David Folk and Flip and PR news. You're listening to NPR news. The Trump administration is again asking the Supreme Court to let it move ahead with restrictions on male ballots before the midterm elections in November.
This says legal wrangling over President Trump's executive order continues in lower courts. This comes after a federal judge embossed and blocked Trump's executive order for now. The justice is previously allowed Trump's plan to move ahead, but they haven't decided whether it's legal.
States are preparing to sell out male ballots, some as soon as tomorrow.
Its hurricane season and these powerful storms can affect the bodies of animals down to their
jeans. NPR's Regina Barber has more on an adaptation that can help losers survive high winds.
“The silver key a null which lives on two islands on the Turks and Cacos has adapted in”
just a few generations to have a shorter fourth toe on their hind legs. This was after Hurricane Irma and Maria hit the islands about a decade ago. Scientists think this smaller toe gives more leverage to hold on to objects. This hypothesis was tested by evolutionary biologists at Princeton University, by putting lizards in front of a fan to simulate tropical storm forest winds.
And then recorded how long the lizards could hold on. This study in Kern Biology also detailed genetic analysis to confirm a specific gene that was linked to making the lizards toes shorter. By continuing to analyze the genetics and environmental conditions, researchers hope to discover how other animals might adapt rapidly, Regina Barber and PR news.
