They never make it to court. That made the trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 people in 2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, unusual....

Earlier that day, the Pope celebrated mass in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. “He was smiling. His eyes were shining,” said Morency, who founded the fraternity about 30 years ago. “For me, it’s a big wink from God for the Saint-Alphonse Brotherhood.” Pope Francis spent about 20 minutes at the center, giving gifts, including rosaries and a picture of Mary and Jesus....
