Karmelo's Defense attorneys rested their case today without calling him to testify.
Closing arguments are scheduled to begin on Tuesday before the case is eventually handed to the jury for deliberations. Legal Analyst Thelma Anderson will breakdown what happened in the courtroom.
A scholarship designed to support Black students pursuing careers in chemistry and the physical sciences is at the center of a recent Iowa Supreme Court decision. For now, the decision blocks the University of Iowa's attempt to change the eligibility criteria for this privately funded award. We'll speak with one of the attorneys involved in the case.
The Marshall Project reported at least 47 suicides in solitary confinement across Mississippi prisons between 2015 and 2025. We'll discuss this troubling pattern with one of the reporters who discovered that many inmates had previously requested mental health assistance, only to be placed in restrictive housing instead of receiving the care they needed.
Once again, Trump insulted a black female reporter. We'll show you the exchange that made the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump abruptly end the interview with NBC's Meet The Press Moderator, Kristen Welker.
