Good morning. It's Saturday, June 10. First up, Gov. Rick Scott signed into law Friday bills that will change how Florida prosecutors handle “stand your ground” cases and give students greater “religious liberties” in public schools.

Next, a year after the Pulse mass shooting, Orlando is a more caring place, or not, depending on where you look.

Follow the Orlando Sentinel this weekend for coverage honoring the 49 victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting. Check out a gallery of scenes from events around Central Florida commemorating the anniversary here.
