Who’s fighting for release…

Evan Gershkovich. Today, a Moscow court will hear an appeal to release the Wall Street Journal reporter. Last month, Russian authorities accused Gershkovich of collecting Russia's military secrets and detained him on espionage charges. It was the first time an American journalist was detained on spying accusations since the Cold War. The WSJ denied that Gershkovich spied and demanded his release. The Department of State determined that Russia “wrongfully detained” Gershkovich. Yesterday, US embassy officials visited him for the first time since the arrest. In a tweet, US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy said Gershkovich is “in good health and remains strong.” Now, the court will weigh whether to release Gershkovich while he awaits trial. Today's procedural hearing won't focus on the actual charges, since investigators are still reportedly working on his case. Gershkovich could be held in pre-trial detention until May 29.

Where else people are thinking about justice…

Akron, OH. Yesterday, a grand jury denied charging the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker. Last year, eight officers — seven of whom are white — tried to pull Walker over for a traffic violation. Police said Walker didn’t stop and tried to flee on foot. They said they ordered him to stop, used Tasers, and fired at him — shooting Walker 46 times. Police said Walker posed a “deadly threat” and had fired at least one shot from his car. Walker was pronounced dead at the scene and didn’t have a gun on him after he ditched the car. The 25-year-old Black man’s death re-ignited protests in the city and conversations about the police’s treatment of Black people. Now, the grand jury found that the officers were legally justified in their use of force. The state Attorney General’s office acknowledged that Walker’s fiancée had died shortly before the incident, causing “a very tough time” in Walker's life. The attorney added that Walker was “a good man, a good person with no prior criminal record so he was not acting (like) himself.”

Who's really getting creative...

Chinese spies, (allegedly). Yesterday, the FBI arrested and charged two individuals for running an unauthorized police station in Manhattan to “monitor and intimidate” critics of the Chinese government. The operation hasn’t been up and running since last year, after the pair realized the FBI was hot on their trail. Now, federal prosecutors charged the men with conspiring to act as agents of the Chinese government. They’ve also been charged for obstructing justice for deleting messages with a Chinese official. China’s embassy in Washington previously dismissed claims of secret police stations. First balloons, now this.

What's taking up the Sunday scaries…

The Supreme Court. Today, the high court will hear a case about religious accommodations after a worker sued USPS for making him work on Sundays. Gerald Groff says he shouldn’t be required by law to work on Sundays as a Christian. Lower courts have sided with USPS, saying it puts more work in other employees’ mailboxes. Now, the Supreme Court is ready to chime in, and a ruling is expected by the end of June.
