John Middleton is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Wednesday for three 1995 murders. His attorneys say they have new evidence that proves their client did not commit the crimes.

Missouri is scheduled to execute John Middleton, 54, on Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., for three murders that his lawyers insist he did not commit.
His lawyers say they have uncovered new evidence that gives Middleton an alibi for one of the murders for which he was convicted, and incriminates two other men in the killings. They have filed a petition to the Eighth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals that claims that on the day one of three men was killed, Middleton was being held in an Iowa jail 40 miles away from the murder scene.
"It's hard to think of a more iron-clad alibi than that," the prisoner's attorney, Joseph Perkovich, told The Guardian.
An affidavit signed by an unnamed witness in February also suggests that two other men may have committed the drug-related killings of three people in northern Missouri for which Middleton was convicted.
Perkovich blamed police and prosecutors for botching the investigation and allowing the real killers to make a case against their client.
Middleton's lawyers have also asked the Missouri Supreme Court for a new trial and have filed a separate case in the U.S. District Court claiming that he is too mentally ill to be executed.
Middleton was a meth dealer in Missouri in the 1990s. He was sentenced to death for killing three men, Randy Hamilton, Stacey Hodge, and Alfred Pinegar, suspected to be police informants or "snitches."
However, The Guardian reports that Middleton was convicted of Hodge and Hamilton's murder without the backing of DNA or forensic evidence. Pinegar, the third victim who was a drug dealer himself, was said to be murdered on June 23, 1995. However, new forensic evidence suggested that he was killed a day later when Middleton was actually being held in an Iowa jail on suspicion of a misdemeanor.
In addition, Middleton's lawyers say they have an affidavit of a witness who said he was beaten up with a baseball bat by two prominent meth dealers who then showed him a dead body which the witness later identified as Pinegar's.
The witness said that the two meth dealers thought he was a snitch and showed him Pinegar's body as a threat. According to his affidavit, one of the meth dealers told him, "There's already been three people killed. You want to be number four?"
Middleton's lawyers allege that these two men, one of whom is serving a seven-year sentence and the other, who is not incarcerated, killed the three victims.
So far, Missouri has dismissed the new evidence. The state's attorney general Chris Koster said Middleton has "manufactured" the alleged discrepancies in the forensic evidence two decades after the crimes. Koster also dismissed the testimony of the witness saying he is not "credible after having waited nearly two decades to make his current statement."
A new study in August found that almost four percent of U.S. capital punishment sentences are wrongful convictions, meaning approximately 120 of the roughly 3,000 inmates on death row in America might not be guilty.
“Leaving those scratch marks on Gerard’s face on the fateful night … god bless her”
Former dance teacher and mother of three, Allison Baden-Clay's body was found under a Brookfield bridge in 2012, following a large-scale search.
Her husband, Gerard Baden-Clay was charged with her murder shortly after and was found with multiple scratches and marks to his body.
Throughout the trial Baden-Clay used multiple excuses for the scratch marks including that he cut himself shaving, that he had a reaction from a caterpillar and that marks on his hand were caused by a screwdriver that slipped during the renovation of his friend's house.
Queensland Supreme Court
Mrs Dickie continued, "It was obvious to me that one of the last things Allison did was to leave her marks on her husband."
The couple had been experiencing marriage and financial difficulties for some time, with Gerard Baden-Clay having an affair with a former employee.
Queensland Supreme Court Justice John Byrne sentenced Baden-Clay to life in prison telling the convicted killer, "You used a razor to cut yourself near where she (Allison) had scratched you."

When Harry Met Sally first opened in theaters nearly 25 years ago (on July 14, 1989), but the film, written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, has remained one of the most iconic romantic comedies ever. It's a classic tale — boy (Harry Burns, played by Billy Crystal) meets girl (Sally Albright, played by Meg Ryan), boy hates girl, boy and girl become friends, boy and girl sleep together, boy and girl hate each other again, boy and girl realize they love each other and get married.
In honor of the film's milestone anniversary, BuzzFeed compiled a handy New York City (and a little bit of New Jersey) guide to the places Harry and Sally met along the way that eventually led them down the aisle.

Khaled Jarrar says he does not know why he was blocked from leaving.
Jarrar poses with a soccer ball he made out of the West Bank separation barrier that was part of his solo show "Whole in a Wall," showcased at Ayyam gallery in London in 2013.

This is Jarrar's passport with an Israeli sticker denying his exit. Next to the word "Reason" there is just a straight line.
Israel gained control of the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967, and has since imposed strict limits on Palestinian movement, citing security concerns and a history of terror attacks, including suicide bombings.
Jarrar told BuzzFeed he still does not know why he was barred from exiting. He said his documents were in order and he had just attended an art event in Paris in June. Israel has tightened security at all of its borders since fighting between Israel and Gaza renewed on July 8. Jarrar was one of a number of Palestinians turned back late Sunday night after six hours waiting at the border.

"Infiltrators" documents Palestinians who illegally sneak into Jerusalem across the wall that separates Israel from the West Bank. Jarrar follows Palestinians seeking to visit their families in Jerusalem, to look for work, and other aspects of daily life. Since Israel built the wall after the bloody second Palestinian Intifada, some Palestinians have also illegally entered Jerusalem to attack Israeli civilians.
Jarrar created another art installation called "State of Palestine," to reflect Palestinian opposition to the restrictions on movement and the hope for an independent state. Last month Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiations collapsed, followed by an outbreak of violence between Israel and Gaza.

The California teenager left a note saying he could no longer “handle school” and had “no friends,” according to the $1 million claim that was rejected by the school. The teen’s parents say a video of their son allegedly masturbating in a school bathroom stall went viral.
According to Burdette's parents, their son was "mercilessly bullied" after a video taken of him allegedly masturbating in a school bathroom went viral.
His parents say the school district is responsible for their son's death and allege that officials did nothing to stop the harassment faced by Burdette in the weeks leading up to his suicide.
The claim filed in May was rejected by the school. The family now has six months to file a lawsuit.
Burdette, a student of University City High School in San Diego, killed himself on Nov. 29. He left a suicide note saying he was unable to "handle school" and had "no friends."
According to the complaint, on Nov. 15, Burdette's teacher asked him to leave the class for eating sunflower seeds. The unsupervised teen had "no place to go" and wandered the school halls before going to the bathroom.
Without his knowledge, a student videotaped Burdette allegedly masturbating in the bathroom stall. Within hours, the video was uploaded on Snapchat and Vine and went viral among UCHS students as well as students from other schools in the district.
The complaint then states that from the moment the video was posted, "Matthew was mercilessly bullied, harassed, and teased" by students who had seen it.
Despite being aware of the video and ongoing bullying, Burdette's parents claim that the school personnel "did nothing to protect Matthew and stop the harassment that ultimately led to his suicide."

1. While on vacation with his family in Hawaii in the summer of 2003, the then-chairman of ABC Entertainment, Lloyd Braun, watched the network's broadcast of Cast Away and thought the concept would make for an interesting show.
2. Braun had liked the name Lost ever since an NBC reality show launched with the name in 2001.
3. The room fell "dead silent" after he pitched the idea during an ABC corporate retreat shortly thereafter.
4. But ABC's head of drama development, Thom Sherman, liked the idea and hired fledgling writer Jeffrey Lieber (Tuck Everlasting) to work on it.
5. In his first draft, Lieber changed the title of the proposed series to Nowhere. The draft did not live up to Braun's expectations and Lieber was taken off the project. Braun reached out to J.J. Abrams, who was still working on Alias. (Lieber, however, would go on to receive a "created by" credit on the completed show.)
6. Because Abrams was so busy, the network also approached young writer Damon Lindelof, who wanted nothing more than to get a job on Alias. He had been in touch with ABC drama executive Heather Kadin, hoping she'd help make it happen.
7. Among Lindelof's initial pitches to Abrams was the suggestion that the castaways discover a hatch in the middle of the jungle and spend the whole first season trying to open it.
8. Abrams originally wanted Michael Keaton for the role of Jack.
9. The character of Jack was supposed to die midway through the pilot episode.
10. Steve McPherson, the then-president of ABC, argued that killing Jack would make viewers not trust the show. When the plan changed, Keaton was out.
11. Jack's death scene instead went to Oceanic 815's co-pilot (played by Greg Grunberg, Abrams' friend since kindergarten and a former star of two of his other series, Alias and Felicity).
12. Forest Whitaker was originally cast as Sawyer, but backed out to direct First Daughter, which coincidentally starred Michael Keaton as the president of the United States.

Hi! We (Leonora and Erin) were both teens in the '90s, and what a magical time it was for cinematic feats of excellence in the category of teen films. Of course, the '90s also saw a lot of really bad shit.
We're here to rank that bad shit from the good shit. BYEEEE.
Leo: I have to try and remember what this was about. Sorry.
Erin: This movie singlehandedly launched my Brendan Fraser crush.
Leo: Oh god.
Erin: He's a total babe.
Leo: For me, Brendan Fraser was already a man and therefore off limits in the crush universe. Although, I say this and yet I also had a thing for Jeff Goldblum and that was only a year later.
Erin: This is a movie about an impossible thing: a caveman coming back from... the cave. So, sorry, Fraser, but you're terrible.

Leo: The Faculty is where they're all aliens, right?
Erin: Legit, I have no idea. I just remember Usher.
Leo: He was in every teen movie! Why?! Well, I mean. Who doesn't love Usher.
::: watches trailer for The Faculty :::
Leo: This is probably Kevin Williamson's worst work. I find that disappointing.
Erin: Actually, did I see this movie? Maybe I blacked out. Usher.
Leo: This is kind of like a sexy version of a Goosebumps book. And when you think about it that way, the concept might actually be brilliant. I'm undecided.

Leo: Ugh. This is the oldest plot in history, where it's like, They like other people, no way they could possibly fall in love?! WHATT???
Erin: I remember thinking Melissa Joan Hart couldn't possibly be in high school during this movie. She's basically my age now. Also, I could not imagine them having sex together.
Leo: EWWWWWWW.

They might be less common, but they’re no less scary.
Elizabeth Báthory, a Hungarian Countess at the turn of the 16th century, is considered by many to be the most prolific female serial killer of all time: while she is publicly accused of killing 80 young girls, some speculate the number is as high as 650. Báthory lured her victims to her castle under the guise of well-paid servant work or courtly etiquette lessons. Some witnesses claimed they saw her biting flesh off her victims, and others claimed she drank their blood; these allegations (though unproven) earned her the nickname "The Blood Countess."

Norwegian-American Belle Gunness was responsible for killing 40-plus people in the very early 20th century. Most were suitors and husbands; Gunness' motive was thought to be the collection of life insurance policies and other sources of wealth. After killing her first two husbands, Gunness placed a personals ad that would attract several of her later victims: "Personal — comely widow who owns a large farm in one of the finest districts in La Porte County, Indiana, desires to make the acquaintance of a gentleman equally well provided, with view of joining fortunes ... Triflers need not apply."
Gunness allegedly faked her own death in an arson set in her home; the headless body of a woman dressed in her clothing was later discovered in her bed. (Her dead children were also found in theirs.) Several witnesses who saw the body said there was no way it could be hers (Gunness was 6'0" and 200 pounds), but dental records later "confirmed" it. However, a hired hand of Gunness' said that she'd placed her own false teeth in the corpse's head (which she'd dressed as herself), and escaped by train. Gunness was reportedly sighted around the United States for decades afterward, but her ultimate fate is unknown.

Wikipedia has given Amelia Dyer the very dubious superlative "most prolific baby farm murderer of Victorian England." Confirmed killer of six babies, Dyer is the attributed killer of between 200 and 400. Dyer provided lodging for women who became pregnant "illegitimately" in exchange for a fee. Early on, like other baby farmers, Dyer either procured adoptions for the babies or allowed them to die of malnutrition. At some point she began murdering them. Dyer was caught in 1879, sentenced to six months of hard labor on the charge of "neglect," and released — at which point she resumed murdering babies. She was caught again in 1896, pled guilty, and was hanged.

Mary Bell was just 11 years old when she strangled two young boys (3 and 4 years old) to death in Scotswood, England. After killing the younger of the two victims, Bell reportedly returned to the scene and carved the letter "M" into the boy's stomach with a razor, among other mutilations. Bell was released from prison in 1980 at the age of 23, and has lived under court-protected anonymity ever since. In 1998 Bell collaborated with author Gitta Sereny on a book about her life called Cries Unheard: The Story Of Mary Bell.
