Colorado theater shooting trial: Special fund helps soothe victims and family members Posted: 29 Apr 2015 11:33 AM PDT Many clutched tear-soaked tissues. Some closed their eyes. Others covered their faces with the palms of their hands. Those sitting in the victims' section of the courtroom coped in different ways as they sat through the first day of testimony in the Colorado theater shooting trial.

Lethal injection case exposes U.S. top court's death penalty divide Posted: 29 Apr 2015 11:45 AM PDT By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tensions on the Supreme Court over America's use of the death penalty boiled over on Wednesday as the justices appeared badly split in a case challenging Oklahoma's lethal injection method as a breach of the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The nine-member court's five conservatives seemed likely to side with Oklahoma in the case brought by three death row inmates, while its four liberals expressed doubt about the propriety of using the drug at the center of the dispute. Conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy, who often casts deciding votes in close cases, said nothing to suggest he would side with the liberals. The testy nature of exchanges between the justices during the hour-long oral argument illustrated that while the case concerned just one drug, it was playing out against the much bigger question of whether the death penalty should be used in the United States at a time when most developed countries have abandoned it.

Marchers demand justice, police reform in Baltimore Posted: 29 Apr 2015 04:49 PM PDT By Scott Malone, Ian Simpson and Warren Strobel BALTIMORE (Reuters) - Thousands of demonstrators marched in Baltimore on Wednesday demanding justice and police reform as 3,000 troops stood by to enforce a curfew imposed after Monday's civil unrest over the death of a 25-year-old black man. The large peaceful protest that converged on city hall capped a day of calm in Baltimore, which saw its worst rioting in decades two days earlier. Marchers said they seek answers about the fate of Freddie Gray, who died after suffering spinal injuries while in police custody, while also highlighting the need to change policing practices in the largely black city. Republican Governor Larry Hogan said protesters must respect the nighttime curfew, and that troops would not tolerate looting or rioting.

Jury told of Boston bomber's bright childhood Posted: 29 Apr 2015 02:27 PM PDT By Elizabeth Barber BOSTON (Reuters) - Convicted Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was once a bright, hardworking child who won the adoration of his teachers and classmates alike, his former instructors testified on Wednesday for defense attorneys trying to spare him the death penalty. During the sentencing phase of Tsarnaev's trial in federal court in Boston, his lawyers have been trying to paint him as a mostly normal American kid who fell under the spell of his now-deceased older brother, ultimately joining him in the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon. Tracey Gordon, who taught Tsarnaev in fifth and sixth grade at a Cambridge school, described him as an exceptionally intelligent child who easily mastered English after arriving in the United States from Russia and "was eager to learn whatever school had to offer." "He was a person who you enjoyed being around," Gordon testified, adding that he would "befriend anybody and help anybody in need." Jurors were also shown photos of a young Tsarnaev smiling as he learned how to dance, did classroom chores and cradled a teacher's newborn.
