Pro-death penalty legislators demand hearing on Richard Glossip’s execution
More than 60 Oklahoma lawmakers—many of them Republicans who support the death penalty—are calling for a new evidentiary hearing in the case of Richard Glossip ahead of his upcoming execution. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals set a September 22 execution date for Glossip , 59, after a federal judge rejected a challenge to the state's lethal injection protocol. But a group of 61 Oklahoma legislators—44 Republicans and 17 Democrats—have urged Oklahoma Attorney General John O'Connor to join their request for a new hearing, citing an independent investigation by a Texas law firm that raised concerns about Glossip's guilt and conviction. "The report concluded that no reasonable juror who heard all the evidence would find Mr. Glossip guilty," the legislators wrote in a letter to O'Connor last week. "As elected officials representing the citizens of this great state, we believe it is vitally important to conduct a serious review of this case so that the truth might be … [Read more...] about Pro-death penalty legislators demand hearing on Richard Glossip’s execution

Death sentence restored for bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend’s fiancée and their 3 children
A federal appeals court on Monday restored the death sentence of a bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend's fiancée and their three children. In a 32-page opinion, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that would have freed Ronald Jeffery Prible Jr . if the state did not retry Prible within six months. The panel ruled Prible, 50, failed to raise issues sufficiently compelling to discredit his conviction and sentence. A Harris County jury condemned Prible to death row in 2002 for killing Esteban "Steve″ Herrera; Herrera's fiancée, Nilda Tirado; Tirado's 7-year-old daughter Rachel Elizabeth Cumpian; Herrera's 7-year-old daughter Valerie; and the couple's 22-month-old daughter Jade Herrera in 1999. Testimony from the two-week trial showed Prible shot Herrera, then raped and shot Tirado before setting her body on fire to hide DNA evidence. The children died from smoke inhalation from the resulting fire. … [Read more...] about Death sentence restored for bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend’s fiancée and their 3 children

Cowell shared his thoughts on the tragedy with PEOPLE as he was quoted saying, "Unfortunately, it happens too much over the years," Cowell, 62, says ahead of AGT's live shows on Tuesday. "I was thinking about this the other day. People [who] passed too soon. Every time it happens, because you've gotten to know them, it's horrible." "At that moment, it's like, 'What can I say?'" he notes. "The unfortunate thing is it's happened too many times and every time it happens, it's hard."

Nazi guard, 101, jailed for role in more than 3,500 concentration camp deaths
A former Nazi guard, now aged 101, who was involved in sending more than 3,500 people to their deaths at a German concentration camp has been sentenced to five years in jail. Prosecutors had said that Josef S., a member of the Nazi party's paramilitary SS, played a role in the deaths of 3,518 people at the Sachsenhausen camp, north of Berlin, by regularly standing guard in the watchtower between 1942 and 1945. The trial took nearly nine months as doctors had said the man, whose full name was not disclosed due to German trial reporting rules, was only partially fit to stand trial, and sessions were limited to two and a half hours a day. Some people interned in Sachsenhausen were murdered with Zyklon-B, the poison gas also used in other extermination camps where millions of Jews were killed during the Holocaust. Sachsenhausen housed mainly political prisoners from across Europe, along with Soviet prisoners of war and some Jews. The defendant was regularly standing guard … [Read more...] about Nazi guard, 101, jailed for role in more than 3,500 concentration camp deaths
