Decarlos Brown will be hospitalized for up to four months to see if he can stand trial over the death of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee.

The Iowa Supreme Court found the University of Iowa’s suit seeking to modify the terms of a scholarship gift was improperly dismissed. A Black professor left a scholarship bequest to the university in gratitude for the school educating him during the Jim Crow era, establishing a scholarship for “Black students majoring in the physical sciences, preferably chemistry.” The terms of the scholarship must be dissected upon remand since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions that universities could not use race-based preferences in admissions. The school may not simply repurpose it for first-generation students, however, and “an advocate for the donor’s intent” must be involved in the modification process.

A federal court in Illinois granted class certification to a class of Illinois Apple users who say the tech giant violated biometric privacy laws by collecting and possessing their biometric data without their consent through the “People” album in the photos app. The court estimates the potential class size numbers over 6 million and that Apple’s uniform code of conduct unites the claims.

Texas federal judge Brantley Starr announced he will not pursue further civil or criminal contempt against Southwest Airlines after the Fifth Circuit overturned a controversial sanctions order requiring three Southwest Airlines attorneys to receive “religious liberty training” from the right-wing Alliance Defending Freedom.

A federal court in Maine partially denied two police officers’ motions to dismiss First Amendment lcaims brought against them by a man who “frequently films police conducting public arrests in and around Brunswick, Maine.” It would be reasonable to find that the man was arrested on one occasion in part because he was filming. An officer told him, “You’re getting a citation today for being on a limited access highway as a pedestrian. You’re out on 295 filming.”

An appeals court in Louisiana affirmed the murder conviction of a man whose minor children testified that their father fatally shot a neighbor during an argument, then asked them to shoot him so he would not face consequences. When they refused, he asked his daughter and son to stab the victim; the son did so before later putting the knife in the victim’s hand. Because the man was not represented by counsel at his resentencing hearing, his sentence of life imprisonment is vacated.
