WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court came together Monday on the unlikely issue of guns, ordering Massachusetts' top court to look again at the state's ban on stun guns.
The justices, with no apparent dissent, issued an unsigned opinion in favor of Jaime Caetano, who was convicted of violating the state's anti-stun gun law. Caetano said she kept a stun gun in her purse for self-defense against an abusive former boyfriend.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a stunning disclosure, federal authorities said Monday that they may have found a way to unlock an iPhone used by one of the shooters in the San Bernardino attack, a development that could make Apple's forced cooperation unnecessary.
In a filing late Monday, federal prosecutors asked to delay a much-anticipated court hearing set for Tuesday over the FBI's demand for Apple to help unlock Syed Rizwan Farook's encrypted phone. An "an outside party" came forward over the weekend and showed the FBI a possible method for unlocking the phone, according to the filing.
