Federal prosecutors charged 2 protesters with terrorism for constitutionally protected activity. Shots were fired at an ICE protest, but neither is accused of firing the gun. The Trump administration is making good on its threat to treat anti-fascist activity as terrorism.

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a murder. But a co-defendant testified against him under the threat of capital punishment. He was sentenced to death by a 10-2 jury vote. Only two states allow death sentences even when all jurors don’t agree. Alabama plans to execute him next week.
