YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP

Thu Jun 13 2024

Lorenzino Estrada | Digital Producer

Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know before you start your day.

The U.S. Department of Justice is expected to reveal what the agency learned in a nearly three-year investigation of the Phoenix Police Department.

A news conference scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday will shed light on the Police Department’s use of force, whether police retaliate against protesters, discriminatory police practices, and how officers treat individuals who have disabilities or who are experiencing homelessness.

For more on the DOJ’s probe into Phoenix police, read this story.

Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1805: Meriwether Lewis and four other explorers on the Corps of Discovery Expedition located the Great Falls of the Missouri River in what’s now Montana. Lewis rejoined William Clark a few days later to tell him they found the right path, though it took them a month to navigate the rugged falls terrain in an 18-mile portage.
•	In 1966: In Miranda v. Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court decided any person whom officers suspect committed a crime and take into custody must be advised they have rights before police interrogation. These include the right to hire an attorney or have a court appoint one, as well as “the right to remain silent.”
•	In 1967: President Lyndon Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall, who was confirmed by the Senate a couple months later and became the first Black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
•	In 1971: The New York Times published the first leaked excerpts in a series of investigative stories with the headline that read “Vietnam Archive: Pentagon Study Traces Three Decades of Growing US Involvement.” Portions of the classified Defense Department report – later called the Pentagon Papers – had been leaked to the Times and Washington Post. On the 40th anniversary of the leak, the National Archives posted the fully declassified report with no redactions and separate PDFs for each volume on its website.
•	In 2002: As President George W. Bush previously announced, the U.S. pulled out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that it and the USSR had signed in 1972. Bush said the treaty’s limits on missile defense impeded the U.S. from defending against terrorists in the wake of 9/11.
•	In 2005: A California jury found pop musician Michael Jackson not guilty of all child molestation charges. Lawsuits – filed against Jackson-owned companies after his death by two men who allege Jackson sexually abused them when they were boys – twice have been revived after dismissals.
