SUMMARY: Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the removal of the “Black Lives Matter” mural near the White House, citing a need to focus on severe federal budget cuts threatening city finances. Originally painted in June 2020 amid protests against police brutality, the mural was intended as a public act of defiance against then-President Trump.

The local Black Lives Matter affiliate criticized Bowser’s actions as disingenuous, calling her earlier support “performative wokeness.”

SUMMARY: Brad Sigmon, a condemned inmate in South Carolina, has had his final appeal denied by the state Supreme Court ahead of his execution scheduled for Friday by firing squad. This marks a significant moment as he would be the first U.S. inmate to face execution by firing squad in 15 years. Coroner Mike Ellis, who investigated the brutal 2001 murder of William and Gladys Lark, reflected on the vivid crime scene, noting the tragic nature and brutality of the case, which still resonates with those involved in the investigation. Sigmon was sentenced to death for using a baseball bat in the murders.
