The “Power, Pride, and Politics” Behind the Drive to Execute Richard Glossip

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:29:19 GMT

Two weeks before he was scheduled to die at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, Richard Glossip packed his belongings in a box. Of the personal items that could fit in his death row cell, these were his treasured possessions: letters, cards, and most importantly, photos of his wife, Lea, which he’d carefully taken off the wall. For the past few years, she’d been his lifeline, a source of strength and comfort and his daily portal to the outside world. Over the phone, he kept her company as she drank her coffee in the morning, drove to and from her law school classes, and watched the evening news.After the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board denied Glossip’s clemency request last month, Lea was the person he turned to. “I called her the second I got back to my cell,” he said. “I told the guards, ‘I need to get back there.’ … Whenever things get really tough for me, and I feel at my lowest point, I know that I can talk to Lea and she can pick me up from that.”Now they faced a dr...

‘The person becomes a commodity’: Funeral directors seek law to regulate ‘body brokers’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:29:19 GMT

The death of a loved one can spark a torrent of emotions, amid shock and sadness — and often a flurry of money-making activities by “body brokers.”The National Funeral Directors Association is lobbying to have Congress establish a law that would regulate the activities of people or companies that target those who may want to donate their loved one’s body to science, or may not be able to afford the expense of a funeral.Jon Milton, director of Laurel Hill Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and other funeral directors said demand for human cadavers for use in medical research is higher than the number of families who would reach out to have their loved one’s remains be donated for medical research.“Body brokers market themselves as working on behalf of research facilities,” said Milton. “They’re the ones who are approaching the families, either through hospice, or funeral homes, or in the hospital, to have f...

Wawrinka beats Ivashka after rain delay at Italian Open

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:29:19 GMT

ROME (AP) — Stan Wawrinka wasted little time securing a 6-2, 6-4 win over Ilya Ivashka in the first round of the Italian Open on Wednesday after the start was delayed for 90 minutes due to rain.At age 38, Wawrinka is the oldest man in the tournament but he dominated Ivashka by hitting more than twice as many winners as his opponent, including one on his first match point to close it out in little more than an hour.“This year I am playing much better, but I need to win more matches. That is what I am missing a bit, the confidence to win more matches,” said Wawrinka, who had two surgeries on his left foot in 2021 and two operations on his left knee in 2017. “But in general the level is great.”Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion, next faces 26th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, with the winner potentially meeting top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the third round.“My dream is to win another trophy, another tournament,” Wawrinka said. “Of course I’m getting older, it’s getting more ...

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — The United States’ top international development official, Samantha Power, on Wednesday pledged U.S. support to Serbia and Kosovo as the two former wartime enemies work to stabilize relations at a time of heightened tensions.“It will take political courage to find a durable solution, acceptable to both sides, but the support from the U.S. will be steadfast in the coming weeks as Serbia and Kosovo work to take next steps,” Power told reporters in Belgrade, Serbia’s capital.Power spoke after meeting Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic and Prime Minister Ana Brnabic earlier on Wednesday.

Momentum for EU ethics cop sags despite scandal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:29:19 GMT

BRUSSELS — Sacks of cash and free flights from autocratic governments don’t seem to have been enough to save the EU’s flagship integrity initiative from political inertia.A forthcoming Commission blueprint for an overarching and independent ethics panel will not include the power to investigate wrongdoing by EU officials, Commission Vice President for Values and Transparency Věra Jourová told top MEPs in a closed-door meeting last week, according to a confidential readout obtained by POLITICO.Her plans to limit the scope of the inter-institutional ethics body to a “general framework on ethics and standards” common to all institutions — while then leaving those institutions to decide for themselves how the framework applies to them — drew sharp condemnation from advocates of a stronger enforcement mechanism.“What Jourová outlines has nothing to do with previous debates on the [ethics] body,” said German Green MEP Daniel Freund in a statement. He slammed it as “label fraud.”...
