What was the outcome of the mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case?
Live from MPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. After a week of deliberations, a Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial Friday in the case against Lindsay Clancy. Clancy was facing charges of murdering her three young children in twenty twenty three. Deborah Becker of Member Station WBUR covered the trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and she says it's not clear what lies ahead for Clancy.
The district attorney has to decide if there will be another trial and whether it'll be on the same charges. Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz says he hasn't decided yet, but he did say his office is charged with seeking justice for the three children that Lindsey Clancy admitted that she killed in twenty twenty three.
Clancy's lawyers say postpartum psychosis left her unable to control her behavior or understand that it was wrong. American farmers along the US Canadian borders say they're preparing for even higher fertilizer prices as a trade dispute worsens between the two countries. MPR's Kirk Siegler reports that retaliatory tariffs as high as fifty percent on Canadian imports are scheduled to take effect Tuesday.
How are U.S. farmers affected by the new Canada‑U.S. fertilizer tariff dispute?
Wheat farmer Steve Shuffle says he's angry about how the U.S. is treating its longtime neighbor in his home state of Montana's biggest export market. He's just finished harvest and bought new headers for his combines that are made in Canada for similarly harsh farming environments.
So yeah, I'm worried. High equipment and fertilizer costs due to tariffs is just the latest economic pinch hitting farmers alongside diesel prices, which have now hit an all time high.
Some people who were scheduled to appear at immigration courts in Maryland and Virginia have instead been rescheduled to two other buildings. One is in Washington, DC, while the other is in Falls Church, Virginia. And Paris Jimena Bustillo exclusively reports neither is listed as an immigration courts.
Neither of these buildings currently has an immigration court that is set up for in-person hearings.
Why were immigration court hearings moved to unfamiliar buildings in DC and Virginia?
The DC location has no listed affiliation with the Justice Department, which oversees immigration courts. Immigrants were notified about the change in location within days of newly scheduled appointments, or did not receive notifications at all in at least two cases identified by NPR. Attorneys warned this latest step of scheduling hearings at previously unfamiliar locations can add to the confusion and lack of transparency in an already complicated immigration court system. The Justice Department did not respond to questions about the use of these two buildings. Jimena Bustillo, MPR News, Washington.
Missouri has appealed to the Supreme Court to be allowed to use new congressional districts approved by President Trump in the upcoming midterm elections. This week Missouri's High Court blocked that new map and ordered a statewide vote to be held in November. You're listening to NPR News. Stocks fell on Wall Street Friday after a surprisingly strong jobs report appeared to increase chances of an interest rate hike next month.
What does the Missouri Supreme Court decision mean for the state's new congressional map?
Treasury yields rose, the SP five hundred lost four tenths, while the Doe Jones industrial average fell by half a percent, the NASDAQ finished down point three percent. A US immigration court appeals court says a Venezuelan woman may no longer qualify for asylum, ruling that fear of the deposed Nicholas Maduro regime is no longer grounds for protection. The decision seems to be the first of its kind, and it sets a major legal precedent, and Pierre's jasmine garst reports.
Following Maduro's ouster by US forces, the Department of Homeland Security began urging its immigration attorneys to aggressively challenge pending cases based on conditions in Venezuela changing. The woman in question entered the US as a student in 2014. She and her husband were granted asylum earlier this year after arguing that they faced threats and assault in Venezuela. But now an appeals court has vacated that decision. The ruling seems to be the first of its kind and opens the door for the US government to potentially reject thousands of other pending Venezuelan asylum claims.
