Jurors send a powerful message
CNN
In two cases, in Georgia and Virginia, juries spoke eloquently last week with their actions in ways that make a statement against racism and extremism. Three men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery were convicted, and a jury imposed steep financial penalties against organizers of the 2017 Charlottesville rally.
Those words, famously echoed by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and former President Barack Obama, come to mind when juries render their verdicts, as they did twice last week in closely watched cases.

Andrew Cuomo will not drop out of the New York City mayoral race by the Friday deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot, CNN has learned. That leaves in place contingency plans he had established before the Democratic primary to challenge Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in November.
