Fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli will spend five months in prison for paying half a million dollars in bribes to get his two daughters into the University of Southern California. The federal judge who accepted his plea deal on Friday also fined him $250,000 and ordered him to take part in 250 hours of community service. His wife, Full House actress Lori Loughlin, received a two-month prison sentence, a $150,000 fine, and 100 hours of community service. “I am ready to accept the consequences and move forward, with the lessons I’ve learned from this experience,” Giannulli said.

Joseph James DeAngelo pleaded guilty to 13 murders and 13 rape-related charges in California between 1975 and 1986. The former police officer known as the Golden State Killer said he was “truly sorry” before Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman sentenced him to life in prison on Friday. The 74-year-old also admitted to dozens of sexual assault incidents for which authorities cannot prosecute him because of the statute of limitations.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot said law enforcement will use surveillance videos to hunt down and prosecute those who looted stores in Chicago’s Loop. “What occurred downtown and in surrounding communities was abject criminal behavior, pure and simple,” she added. Hundreds of people smashed store windows, stealing merchandise and cash registers in the city early on Monday morning.

Prosecutors say a 17-year-old from Florida posted fake tweets to celebrity accounts on July 15 as part of a scam that netted more than $100,000 in bitcoins. Florida prosecutors on Friday charged Graham Ivan Clark as an adult with 30 felonies. The same day, a federal court in California charged suspected co-conspirators Mason Sheppard, 19, of the U.K. and Nima Fazeli, 22, of Florida with several felonies.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will spend the rest of his life in jail, but how he dies will depend on the jury in a new penalty phase trial, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday. A three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found bias among the jurors who sentenced Tsarnaev for carrying out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing with his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

We Protestants often approach the “sacred spaces” of worship a little conflicted. The Reformers prioritized the inner life of the believer over the outward rituals of the faith. They replaced the altar with the communion table, and gathered in caves when the religious authorities hunted them down.

My own church meets in a school gymnasium, and some of the most vibrant congregations I know gather in concert halls, libraries, and other repurposed venues.

I first learned about the “defund the police” movement, like many others, via social media—that place where everyone has a platform to post or repost very complex ideas into 280 characters or a square box. So when I saw people I follow call passionately for defunding the police—whether it’s outright abolishing them or diverting parts of their budgets to social services—what I saw wasn’t well-thought out ideas so much as a call to reimagine a better world.
