Morning Docket: 07.28.16

* State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby dropped all remaining charges against the three Baltimore police officers still awaiting trial in the death of Freddie Gray -- a decision she called "agonizing." [New York Times] * Judge Paul L. Friedman (D.D.C.) ordered the release of John W. Hinckley Jr., the man who in 1981 attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan (and who, some argue, murdered White House press secretary James Brady). [Washington Post] * Traci Ribeiro, a non-equity partner at Sedgwick, sued the firm for discrimination, alleging that she and other women "cannot crack the glass ceiling at Sedgwick." [Law.com] * A promising proposal from the Justice Department for how to deal with the law enforcement challenges presented by evidence stored in other countries (in the wake of Microsoft's Second Circuit victory over the DOJ). [Christian Science Monitor] * "Is fake burping in gym class enough to get a seventh-grader arrested?" Professor Noah Feldman analyzes an interesting new Tenth Circuit ruling. [Bloomberg View via How Appealing] * Judge Janet Bond Arterton: sorry, Principal National Life Insurance Co., but you can't escape paying out on the $10 million life insurance policy you issued to a law firm partner just because he died 15 months after the policy's issuance. [Law.com] * For folks finishing up the bar exam today, some advice from former ABC News president (and former SCOTUS clerk) David Westin: it's okay to walk out of there early. Good luck!
