Episode Synopsis

Police and other investigators walked the silent streets of ruined towns around Ukraine’s capital, documenting widespread killings of unarmed civilians and other alleged war crimes by Russian forces that could draw tough new Western sanctions as soon as Wednesday. Clayton Neville has that in our correspondent close-up. A wounded man arrested in connection with a Sacramento shooting that killed six people and injured a dozen more had been released from prison weeks earlier and was rejected for even earlier release after prosecutors argued he “clearly has little regard for human life,” documents show. Jim Roope reports on that for us. Tiger Woods says, for now anyway, he’s planning to play this week in the Masters, a little more than a year after nearly losing a leg in a car crash. John Stolnis reports on this remarkable comeback. Illinois could become the first state to restore voting rights to people while they serve a felony sentence. Eric Ferkenhoff of USA Today joins us to discuss. And Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is now a member of the board of directors for Twitter. What does it mean for the future of the social media platform? We talk with Sarah Needleman of the Wall Street Journal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
