An Orange Park man is facing attempted murder charges, accused of shooting his mother's fiancé. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will review a case regarding the funding of a religious charter school in Oklahoma.
An Orange Park man faces attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting his mother's fiancé. Authorities allege that the suspect acted out of anger, feeling that the fiancé had 'disrespected' his mother.
This incident comes as the Jacksonville area grapples with other significant news, including potential water and sewer rate adjustments by JEA, the experiences of a former January 6th Capitol rioter from Northeast Florida, layoffs within the Florida Blue healthcare system, and a Supreme Court case regarding the funding of religious charter schools. The Supreme Court has agreed to review a lower court decision in Oklahoma that struck down a state board's approval of a Catholic Church application to open a charter school. This case is being closely watched as it delves into the complex intersection of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Justices are expected to argue the case in late April and issue a decision by early summer. Justice Amy Coney Barrett is recused from the case, but no reason was given. The Oklahoma Supreme Court, in a 7-1 vote last June, found that a taxpayer-funded religious charter school would violate the First Amendment's clause prohibiting the government from establishing a religion. The case stems from the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board's 2023 decision to approve the archdiocese's application for the St. Isidore of Seville Virtual Charter School, a K-12 online school aimed at evangelizing students in the Catholic faith. Justice James Winchester, a former Republican Governor Frank Keating appointee, wrote in the majority opinion that charter schools, being public schools, must be nonsectarian. Justice Dana Kuehn, however, dissented, arguing that excluding St. Isidore based solely on its religious affiliation would violate the First Amendment's guarantee of religious freedom
