Question: (CNN) A judge in Massachusetts on Friday sentenced a teenager to serve at least 40 years in prison for killing, raping and robbing his high school math teacher. Philip Chism,17, stood in handcuffs, his face expressionless, as sentences by Superior Court Judge David Lowy were read aloud, following emotional victim impact statements from family and friends of the slain teacher, Colleen Ritzer. "He is pure evil, and evil can never be rehabilitated," said Peggie Ritzer, Colleen's mother, furious because Chism would eventually be eligible for parole. "We will never get a second chance and neither should he." Chism did get a life sentence on the murder charge but could have gotten parole after 25 years because of recent court rulings that limit sentences for juvenile murder defendants."He is pure evil, and evil can never be rehabilitated," victim's mother saysPhilip Chism, 17, will have to serve at least 40 years in prisonHe was convicted of killing, raping and robbing his high school math teacher in 2013

Question: Washington (CNN) More than five dozen state and local election offices requested help from the Department of Homeland Security to protect their election systems from cyberattacks, according to DHS documents obtained by CNN. Before the 2016 US election, 33 states and 36 local governments requested an assessment of their election systems to help prevent cyberattacks, and another two states and six localities requested the assessment since the election, according to a DHS memo issued in response to questions from Missouri Democratic Sen.

Question: (CNN) Black voters should not be blamed for Hillary Clinton's stunning election night loss of the presidency. The roots of Donald Trump's shocking, long-shot, and divisively improbable rise to the presidency can be traced back to election night four years ago when black voter percentage, for the first time in American history, surpassed whites. Black voters led the multiracial groups of voters that re-elected Barack Obama and seemed poised to do so in future presidential election cycles. But a strange thing happened on the way to a rendezvous with victory. The Supreme Court's 2013 Shelby v. Holder decision did more than just effectively gut law enforcement provisions of the Voting Rights Act. More profoundly, it neutralized black voter participation in key electoral battleground states, including North Carolina and Florida -- states that provided president-elect Trump's margins of victory.Peniel Joseph: Trump's victory isn't the fault of black votersSince 2012, voting rights for African Americans have been under attack
