Why did the judge consider declaring a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder case?

Elisa Brady 0:02
This is a Fox News alert on the verge of a mistrial. Only Sebrady. Court is set to resume at the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts, where the judge granted the defense time to file an emergency appeal just as he was about to declare a mistrial after the jury sent a note they still can't reach a unanimous decision, two days after getting instructions that were considered to be a final push for more deliberations.

How did experts debate the impact of Lindsay Clancy’s mental illness on criminal responsibility?

Unknown 0:52
There was never a disagreement at all that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from mental illness. And that is what made this so difficult for 12 people to agree about whether or not that mental illness was severe enough to keep her from knowing that what she was doing was wrong and that she could not control her actions. And so that is why trying to define what reasonable doubt is, trying to get into the head of a mother who did the unthinkable. was so difficult. Both sides had experts who said the opposite thing.

The Trump administration is proposing to strip tax exempt status from schools that use race-based programs.

How will the Treasury’s proposed rule affect tax‑exempt status for schools using race‑based programs?

Jeff Manasso 2:09
Schools that consider race, color, or national origin and programs including admissions, scholarships, and athletics are on notice, that their tax exempt status will be stripped if they continue the practice, that opponents, including the Trump administration, call discriminatory. The proposed rule from the Treasury Department and IRS could target thousands of private schools and colleges. This follows the U.S. Supreme Court's twenty twenty-three decision. The proposed rule could also draw potential legal challenges. Jeff Manasso, Fox News.

What are the key provisions of the Senate bill backed by Nick Saban to limit NIL compensation for student athletes?
