Nichole Erin Rice is standing trial almost three years to the date of her March 2022, arrest in the death of her roommate, 18-year-old Anita Knutson. Rice was working as a civilian at Minot Air Force Base when she was arrested. Rice is charged with AA felony murder in Knutson's death. Anita Knutson was found stabbed to death in her bed in a Minot, North Dakota apartment on June 4, 2007. The window screen in Knutson's room was cut, but officers said they believed that was done to make the killing look like a break-in. Nothing of value was taken from the bedroom, but a pocket knife with dried blood on it was found near Knutson. At the time of the murder, the two women lived together, though friends said the two had a strained relationship. Rice allegedly made a confession to the murder in 2008 or 2009 to her ex-boyfriend. However, the defense claims a Montana man is responsible for Knutson's death because there were reports of a man who matched his appearance running from the crime scene. If found guilty, Rice could be sentenced to a maximum of life in prison without parole.

Today the US Supreme Court will first hear case No. 24-109. Louisiana v. Phillip Callais, et al.; and Case No. 24-110. Press Robinson, et al. v. Phillip Callais, et al. and they will then hear case No. 23-1270. Pierre Yassue Nashun Riley v. Pamela Bondi, Attorney General. Cases No. 24-109 and No. 24-110 concern allegations of racial gerrymandering in Louisiana's congressional voting district maps. The arguments of the 2 cases involve a challenge to Louisiana's congressional redistricting map, specifically focusing on District 6, alleging that the map is an impermissible racial gerrymander. The map was created in response to a previous lawsuit, Robinson v. Ardoin, where plaintiffs argued that the prior map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by diluting minority votes. To address these issues, the Louisiana Legislature adopted a new map (Senate Bill 8) that included a second majority-Black district. However, the plaintiffs in this case claimed that this new map violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by prioritizing race in its creation. A three-judge panel concluded that District 6 of the new map did indeed violate the Equal Protection Clause, leading the court to issue an injunction against using this map in future elections. Case No. 24-110 concerns arguments regarding the timing of judicial review of final removal orders, specifically focusing on whether a petition for review is timely under Section 1252(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Pierre Yassue Nashun Riley, a Jamaican national, was convicted of drug and firearm offenses in the U.S. and faced removal due to his aggravated felony conviction. The Supreme Court's decision of Case No. 24-110 could have significant implications for thousands of immigrants seeking protection under the Convention Against Torture.

Xavier Davis is charged after a Houston couple and their 6-year-old daughter were fatally shot point blank in the head. A young witness, then aged 10 and having been shot in the arm called her grandmother for help. She heard her father tell their assailant he had nothing more to give him. Davis, 32, was arrested the next day as the suspected triggerman - purportedly hired by a childhood friend to kill the family. He is charged with capital murder in the deaths of Donyavia Lagway, 29, and Gregory Carhee, 35, and their daughter, Harmony, 6. Alexus Williams was also arrested in connection with the family’s death with prosecutors accusing her of hiring Davis for an unspecified amount. Authorities believe she had a prior relationship with Lagway and may have lived at the couple's apartment for some time. Prosecutors say that she may have watched the killings or seen the aftermath on a video chat with Davis at the apartment.

Kelli Bryant is charged with three counts of first-degree child abuse in connection with a child neglect case where three children were found living in a Pontiac home in 'deplorable shape' and allegedly abandoned by their mother nearly five years prior to the children being discovered. The tree children found in the home were a 15-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl. The property landlord had requested a welfare check in February 2025 after not hearing from the mother since December 2024. The landlord said rent had not been paid since October, and he was concerned something might have happened. Deputies found mold and human waste throughout, garbage piled as high as four feet, and an overflowing toilet. The children were reportedly covered in feces, and the two girls had trouble walking out of the house. The home was not properly registered as a rental property which meant that the unit was being unlawfully rented out and as a result, wasn't subject to inspections. Investigators believe the children were abandoned between 2020 and 2021. Officials say Bryant has four children with two different fathers. Prosecutors say Bryant was living with her four children at the home in 2019 and left with one of her children, who is now living with their father. Bryant is also charged with three counts of welfare fraud. The welfare fraud charges stem from a review by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services of Bryant's support payments. MDHHS alleges Bryant obtained an overpayment by fraud of $29,397 from January 2022 through February 2025. The defendant appears to have effectively abandoned her children while collecting their public assistance. Officials say that this crime is, first and foremost, a theft from Kelli Bryant's children. These resources were intended to ensure they had the basic necessities denied to them. First-degree child abuse is punishable by up to life in prison. Welfare fraud of more than $500 is punishable by up to four years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine.
