Juan Raul Garza, 44, a Texas drug kingpin, lost two Supreme Court bids to delay his execution in Terre Haute Indiana.

Calgary man murder trial postponed to test Canadian witness
Calgary man Gary Wilson 34 faces murder charges in Texas for the June 1996 death of Marek Kosciukiewicz whose body has never been found. The trial was paused until Aug 14 to decide if a US Canada treaty can compel testimony from Rod Francisco in Oklahoma and whether Francisco is a material witness.
