No execution: Courts side with inmate wanting pastor present
Read full article: No execution: Courts side with inmate wanting pastor presentThe lethal injection of Willie B. Smith III was called off Thursday, Feb. 11, 2021, when the U.S. Supreme Court maintained an injunction. The state prison system said the execution would not proceed given the ruling. โAlabama has not carried its burden of showing that the exclusion of all clergy members from the execution chamber is necessary to ensure prison security. Smith had sought to allow his spiritual adviser, Pastor Robert Wiley, in the execution chamber, something the state does not allow. In the past, Alabama routinely put a Christian prison chaplain, who was employed by the state, in the execution chamber to pray with an inmate if requested.

Play 'Thoughts of a Colored Man' to get a Broadway run
Read full article: Play 'Thoughts of a Colored Man' to get a Broadway runNEW YORK โ Playwright Keenan Scott II's play โThoughts of a Colored Man,โ a work about the outer and inner lives of Black men, is heading to the bright lights of Broadway. The play will be given a Shubert theater and will open whenever Broadway restarts. The play made its world premiere last year at Syracuse Stage and also was produced at Baltimore Center Stage. While discussions of transferring โThoughts of a Colored Manโ to Broadway predated the protests, Moreland said the show's championing of diversity and inclusion fits perfectly in an era of Black Lives Matter and outcries over young Black deaths. Several theater companies โ including The Public Theater, Second Stage Theater, Roundabout Theatre Company and Lincoln Center Theater โ have appointed or elevated theater artists of color.
Court won't revive state fraud charges against Manafort
Read full article: Court won't revive state fraud charges against ManafortNEW YORK โ A New York court on Thursday upheld a decision dismissing state mortgage fraud charges against Paul Manafort on double jeopardy grounds, affirming a lower court finding that they mirrored the federal charges that landed President Donald Trumpโs former campaign chairman behind bars. A four-judge panel in the state's intermediate appeals court ruled that Manhattan prosecutors failed to show that the state charges they brought against Manafort last year warranted an exception to state double jeopardy protections. Manhattan Judge Maxwell Wiley reached the same conclusion in December, explaining at the time that "the law of double jeopardy in New York state provides a very narrow window for prosecution." Prosecutors contended that the state charges qualified for an exception because they were meant to prevent โvery different kindsโ of harm than the federal charges that landed Manafort behind bars and that Wiley had taken an โexceedingly broad viewโ in reaching his decision. In their appeal, Manhattan prosecutors acknowledged their case involved some of the same issues as the federal case.
