SUMMARY: Today marks a pivotal moment in the long-running trial of rapper Young Thug and his co-defendants at the Fulton County courthouse. The judge may rule on a mistrial without prejudice, which would end the current case but allow for a retrial later. This motion arose after problematic testimony that was mistakenly heard by the jury. Defense attorneys are negotiating with prosecutors amidst concerns over the trial’s lengthy duration and its impact on the defendants. The trial, which began in November 2022, has already seen nine out of 28 co-defendants plead guilty. Court convenes at 9 a.m. for further developments.

SUMMARY: Pope Francis, the first Latin American pope, has died at 88, confirmed by the Vatican. He recently underwent a lengthy hospitalization for a respiratory crisis, but managed to celebrate Easter Mass shortly before his passing. His death triggers the selection process for a successor, led by the College of Cardinals, with only cardinals under 80 eligible to vote. The camerlengo, Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell, currently administers the Holy See. Voting occurs in secret; if successful, it is marked by white smoke signaling a new pope. The cardinals will discuss the Church’s challenges before casting their votes.

SUMMARY: A 20-year-old Florida State University student, Phoenix Ikner, allegedly used a service weapon belonging to his mother, a sheriff’s deputy, to fatally shoot two men and injure six others at the university. Legal experts, including former Judge Elizabeth Scherer, indicated it’s too early to determine if his mother could face charges, depending on her knowledge of her son’s dangers and the weapon’s accessibility. While parents of juvenile shooters have faced charges in the past, the adult status of Ikner complicates potential liability. Investigators are still probing the case, with a motive yet to be disclosed.
