The jury confirmed to a judge Thursday morning that it was unable to reach an agreement on a verdict in the Christopher Schurr trial. Schurr faced a second-degree murder charge for the death of Patrick Lyoya. The jury began deliberating Monday, May 5. The next day, jurors told the judge they'd reached a deadlock. But 17th Circuit Court Judge Christina Mims told them to keep working towards a verdict. On Thursday she accepted the jury was deadlocked and said she'd declare a mistrial.

Christopher Schurr took the stand in his own defense Friday morning in a Kent County courtroom. It's the first time the former Grand Rapids police officer has spoken publicly about how he shot and killed Patrick Lyoya during a traffic stop in 2022. Schurr is charged with second degree murder and was fired from the police force. He told jurors he was exhausted and “running on fumes” after a foot chase and a struggle with Lyoya over his taser.

A version of this piece was originally published by ExxonKnews. Last week at the New York State Capitol, more than 300 advocates joined lawmakers for a rally to urge the passage of a landmark waste reduction bill that proponents say is the best piece of legislation in the country aimed at lessening plastic trash. The bill is gaining fast momentum — but lobbyists for major oil and chemical companies want to make sure it doesn’t cross the finish line.

Raising Awareness of Rare Disorders By Lindsey Smith, Jami Howard, and Lisa Hayes That’s a common adage in medical education to train healthcare professionals to think of common conditions (horses) rather than rare ones (zebras) during diagnosis. But while these “zebras” are relatively rare when considering the overall world population, their impacts are far reaching.

My new book is out today! Hard to believe it all started seven years ago, when I visited a village on the banks of the Roosevelt River, in the southern reaches of the Amazon, home to an infamous Indigenous group known as the Cinta Larga... https://t.co/7lyvK5I8Vb
