Federal judge halts Missouri execution of man convicted in jail break killings

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:33 GMT

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday halted next week’s scheduled execution of a man convicted of killing two Missouri jailers amid questions about the literacy of a juror in the case. U.S. District Judge Stephen Bough ruled that Michael Andrew Tisius’ execution at the state prison in Bonne Terre should be delayed to give the court time for a hearing on the juror. The delay comes after Tisius’ lawyers earlier this month claimed a juror in his 2010 resentencing could not read or write. Missouri law requires jurors to be able to read and speak English. In an affidavit signed by the juror May 3, the juror stated “someone at the courthouse” helped him fill out his juror questionnaire.“I told the Courthouse employee that I could not read,” according to an excerpt from the affidavit included in Bough’s ruling. “The Courthouse employee took me into a private room. The Courthouse employee read word for word the questionnaire and filled in the answe...

‘Ted Lasso’ finale proved its whole point — that those who are stuck can overcome (SPOILERS)

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:33 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Roy Kent cries. Nate Shelley apologizes. Rebecca Welton lets her anger go. Trent Crimm finishes his book. Keeley Jones embraces her strength. And the kind-to-a-fault but often lost Ted Lasso finally — after three seasons, but arguably after nearly a lifetime — figures out exactly where he needs to be.Criticized by some for losing its way in its third season, “Ted Lasso” ended up exactly on brand — by taking a sharply drawn crew of characters who had lost their ways and gotten stuck, and freeing them from shackles that were often of their own making. “Can people change?” Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) wonders. The answer, after Wednesday, is a resounding “probably.” “Perfect is boring,” Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) says at one point in the season ( and likely series ) finale. And if there had been a travel guide to the three seasons of the Apple TV+ show, that quote might well have sat opposite the title page. “Ted Lasso” has been a Whitman’s Sampler of pa...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:33 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR issued its second massive penalty in as many days by levying huge fines Wednesday against Stewart-Haas Racing for an alleged “counterfeit part” found on Chase Briscoe’s car in a secondary inspection after the Coca-Cola 600.SHR’s No. 14 team was docked 120 points in both the owner standings and Briscoe’s driver standings, and he also was stripped of 25 playoff points. John Klausmeier, the crew chief, is suspended six races and was fined $250,000.The penalties are the harshest NASCAR can impose under its written deterrence system. It comes a day after superstar Chase Elliott was suspended one race for deliberately wrecking Denny Hamlin on Monday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.“We would much rather be talking about the phenomenal racing we just had at Charlotte Motor Speedway than penalties,” said Elton Sawyer, NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition. “We are the custodians of the garage.”The penalties against SHR fall under rules that p...
