State, defense request another stay of execution for Glossip

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:17:09 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s top prosecutor and attorneys for death row inmate Richard Glossip both asked a court on Monday to once again delay Glossip’s upcoming execution while his attorneys seek to have his conviction overturned.Attorney General Gentner Drummond and one of Glossip’s attorneys, Warren Gotcher, filed a joint motion for a stay of execution with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. They ask that the execution, currently set for May 18, be delayed until at least August 2024 so that the court can consider a separate motion from Glossip’s attorneys for an evidentiary hearing they suggest could prove his innocence. Shortly after Drummond took office in January, he made available to Glossip’s defense team a box of material that Drummond’s predecessor, John O’Connor, had not permitted them to view. O’Connor had designated the materials, consisting largely of prosecutor’s notes in the case, as “work product,” accor...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:17:09 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A pivotal figure in the hush money payment investigation of Donald Trump returned on Monday to the building where a grand jury has been meeting for months, a repeat appearance suggesting his testimony could be key as prosecutors push toward potential criminal charges.There was still no word on when the panel might vote on a possible indictment of the former president.David Pecker, a longtime Trump friend and the former chief executive of the parent company of The National Enquirer, was back as the grand jury heard testimony in the probe for the first time since last Monday, when a witness favorable to the ex-president appeared. The grand jury is now back on the Trump matter, according to a person familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss secretive proceedings. The ex-president is being investigated over payments during his 2016 campaign to two women who alleged affairs or sexual encounters with him.Trump denies being involved with either o...

Family of US couple kidnapped in Haiti pleads for release

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:17:09 GMT

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Nikese Toussaint was at church, so she didn’t see the text message from her sister.All she knew at that point was that their brother and his wife, who live in the U.S., had landed safely in Haiti to visit ailing relatives and prepare for Rara, a colorful and boisterous festival born out of the dark days of slavery.It wasn’t until Toussaint got home and her sister followed up the unread text with a phone call that she learned her warnings had materialized: their brother, an accountant; his wife, a social worker; and another person were snatched off a public bus amid a surge in gang-related kidnappings.Toussaint took a deep breath. Not again, she thought.Seventeen years earlier, gangs had kidnapped two of her cousins in the capital of Port-au-Prince. They were eventually released but remain traumatized.This time, the gang that kidnapped her brother, wife and another person is demanding $200,000 — each.“How are we ever going to come up with that money?” Tou...

Arizona governor: scheduled execution is unlikely next week

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:17:09 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — A vow by Arizona’s governor not to proceed with any executions amid lingering questions about the rights of death row prisoners appears to have paused a scheduled execution next week, even though it hasn’t officially been called off.Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs won a key battle recently when the Arizona Supreme Court concluded a state law didn’t require her to proceed with the planned April 6 execution of Aaron Gunches, even though his execution date wasn’t canceled. Hobbs has vowed no prisoners will be executed until there’s confidence that the state isn’t violating constitutional rights when enforcing the death penalty.Gunches was scheduled to receive a lethal injection for the 2002 killing of Ted Price, who was his girlfriend’s ex-husband. He had pleaded guilty to a murder charge in the shooting death near Mesa, Arizona.Price’s sister, Karen Price, had tried unsuccessfully to get the court to order Hobbs to carry out the execution.

What the Bears have done in free agency so far in 2023

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:17:09 GMT

Aaron Leming of Bear Report is featured in this edition of "9 Good Minutes" from WGN News Now. LAKE FOREST - One of the more critical Bears' offseasons in recent memory is well underway, and as expected, Ryan Poles has been quite busy. The general manager has already signed a number of free agents since he had plenty of room under the salary cap to do so to build a roster with a number of holes. On top of that, he's already traded the team's top overall pick in exchange for four selections and a No. 1 receiver.That's D.J. Moore, who some could argue is the biggest player addition of the still young Bears' 2023 offseason that comes after a 3-14 record.Defense has been a big part of the Bears' signings so far as they started things off by locking up starting linebackers T.J. Edwards (3-year, $19.5 million) and Tremaine Edmunds (4-year, $72 million). Defensive end DeMarcus Walker, linebacker Dylan Cole, and defensive tackle Andrew Billings are among the others joining a unit that was a...
