Justices rejected six petitions in recent weeks. Three death row inmates lost execution stay requests. The court denied Alex Jones relief from a $1.4 billion defamation judgment over Sandy Hook conspiracy claims.
A Texas case involves a seven-year-old girl facing return to Venezuela under international abduction treaties. Her mother seeks asylum protection. The father lives in Spain and disputes that the mother took the child unlawfully.
