A federal appeals court panel has halted next month’s planned execution of a 45-year-old Missouri man convicted of killing a 6-year-old girl, though the state is appealing the ruling.The three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday voted 2-1 to stop the execution of Johnny Johnson, who is scheduled to receive a lethal injection next Tuesday at the state prison in Bonne Terre for killing Casey Williamson after trying to sexually assault her in 2002.The Missouri Attorney General’s Office responded by asking that the full 8th Circuit court reconsider the case, which will likely end up before the U.S. Supreme Court before the scheduled execution date.Attorneys for Johnson have claimed he isn’t mentally competent to be executed because his schizophrenia prevents him from understanding the link between his crime and the punishment. They have also said Johnson has delusions about the devil using his death to bring about the end of the world.The Mi...

DETROIT (AP) — Seven major automakers say they’re joining forces to build a North American electric vehicle charging network that would rival Tesla’s and nearly double the number of fast-charging plugs in the U.S. and Canada.General Motors, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes and Stellantis said Wednesday that they will share in a multi-billion dollar investment to build “high power” charging stations with 30,000 plugs in urban areas and along travel corridors.The dramatic move is intended to speed the adoption of electric vehicles, allaying fears that chargers won’t be available for long distance travel.

While they said the first of the chargers will be ready by next summer, they also would not say how long it will take to build the entire network.The automakers said in a joint statement Wednesday t...

KEY LARGO COASTLINE, Fla. (WSVN) — Fishermen caught an unforgettable wild encounter on camera off the coast of Key Largo. As the group was 17 to 18 miles off the island, they spotted a pod of killer whales. The boaters were out on the water to catch swordfish when they encountered the underwater mammals. The orcas appeared to be on the hunt for food when the fishermen picked up their phones to capture the spectacle. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said these whales are more abundant in cooler waters like the north pacific, but they are found in all of the world’s oceans.
