A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of the parents’ immigration status. U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour in Seattle ruled on Thursday in the case brought by the states of Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon. The states argue that the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court case law have cemented birthright citizenship. Coughenour called Trump's order “blatantly unconstitutional.”

Italy’s highest court has confirmed a slander conviction against U.S. defendant Amanda Knox for accusing an innocent man in her British flatmate’s 2007 murder, a sensational case that polarized trial watchers on both sides of the Atlantic. Knox had appealed the conviction based on a European Court of Human Rights ruling that said her rights had been violated by police failure to provide a lawyer and adequate translator during a long night of questioning just days after Meredith Kercher's murder. The man she wrongly accused, Patrick Lumumba, said that Knox will have to live with the verdict for the rest of her life.

A teenager who stabbed three young girls to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in England has been sentenced to more than 50 years in prison. Judge Julian Goose said Thursday that 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana “wanted to try and carry out mass murder of innocent, happy young girls.” The judge said that he couldn’t impose a sentence of life without parole, because Rudakubana was under 18 at the time of the crime. But the judge said he must serve more than 51 years before being considered for parole and “it is likely he will never be released.” Rudakubana was 17 when he attacked the children in the seaside town of Southport in July.

Prince Harry’s mission to tame the British media has produced results in court. But the jury is still out on whether it will have a broader impact or be just another chapter or headline in the long history of tabloids behaving badly. Harry received an unprecedented apology from Rupert Murdoch’s flagship U.K. tabloid on Wednesday and previously won in a court judgment that condemned the publishers of the Daily Mirror for “widespread and habitual” phone hacking. The News Group Newspapers settlement has encouraged advocates seeking accountability from the media. Some media observers see the victories as significant for Harry but unlikely to bring wider change.
