A judge at a court in South Africa on Tuesday granted bail to Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius after he was convicted of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Judge Aubrey Ledwaba said the double-amputee had proved that he is not a flight risk at a hearing in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria. Last week, the Supreme Court of Appeal found Pistorius guilty of murdering Steenkamp, overruling a previous manslaughter conviction. Judge Ledwaba granted Pistorius bail of $692, extending his house arrest until his sentencing on April 18.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court hears argumentsin a case revolving around the 14th Amendment's "one person, one vote" principle. The dispute arises from a challenge brought by two rural voters in Texas who claim their state Senate ballots carry less weight than those cast in urban areas with large numbers of non-citizens (who are ineligible to vote). Defenders of the "one-person, one-vote" system say all residents of a political jurisdiction deserve equal representation, whether they are allowed to vote or not. Here's a breakdown of the case in USA TODAY's Decision Tracker.
Pope Francis opened the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica on Tuesday, marking the beginning of the Jubilee of Mercy — a special Holy Year, amid heightened security. More than 10 million pilgrims are expected to pass through the bronze door, which is usually sealed, during the 12-month period. This jubilee calls on Catholics to reflect on the theme of mercy. On Tuesday night, a coalition of humanitarian groups will project images of life on earth on the facade of St. Peter's to mark the occasion.
Color of Change, an online advocacy group with 1.3 million members, plans to circulate a petition Tuesday to demand that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate T-Mobile's sales practices. Some consumer groups allege that the wireless carrier is guilty of false advertising for its claims that it does not have contracts and that it pays the early termination fees for customers switching carriers. The New York attorney general is currently investigating the complaints. CEO John Legere says he stands behind the ads. "Contrary to the click-bait headline, we haven't been accused of false advertising by any regulatory body," Legere tweeted.
