A robbery suspect will remain jailed on murder and attempted murder charges in the shooting of two police officers inside a Chicago hospital. The suspect, 26-year-old Alphanso Talley, was escorted in handcuffs into a Cook County courtroom packed with officers and politicians for his first appearance Monday. Talley did not speak, not even when Circuit Court Judge Luciano Panici Jr. twice asked his name. Public defenders said they need more time before they can comment. They also said they’d seek a mental health evaluation. Charges filed in federal court in Indiana on Monday indicate the weapon was bought illegally through a straw buyer, not taken from the officers.

New York City’s new correction commissioner is the first formerly incarcerated person to oversee the city’s jails. Stanley Richards served two years at the notorious Rikers Island complex before dedicating his career to helping inmates turn their lives around. He takes over at a critical time for the city jail system. A federal judge has named a new “remediation manager” to help bring order to the violent and unruly Rikers jail. A deadline to shutter Rikers and move inmates to smaller jails across the city by 2027 is also fast approaching. Rikers houses the vast majority of the city jail system’s roughly 6,700 inmates.

Lawyers for singer D4vd are pushing prosecutors to reveal their evidence in the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's killing. A judge has set a hearing for next week to present the evidence publicly. D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, appeared in court in jail clothes Thursday. He's pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Prosecutors say they have extensive evidence, including sensitive child sex abuse images from Burke's phone. The defense argues the evidence will prove Burke's innocence. The dismembered body of Rivas Hernandez was found in a car registered to Burke. The hearing will determine if there's enough evidence for a trial.

Britney Spears has entered a substance abuse treatment facility. A representative says Sunday that the 44-year-old pop star voluntarily checked herself in. Spears was arrested over a month ago on suspicion of driving under the influence. California Highway Patrol officers received a report on March 5 about a driver in a black BMW driving erratically in Ventura County. Spears took field sobriety tests before being arrested. She was released from county jail hours later. Investigators turned the case over to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office on March 23. Charges may be decided before her court date on May 4.
