A federal judge dismissed charges against Jerry Hal Saliterman, a Minnesota man accused of concealing stolen ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz," after prosecutors reported his death. Saliterman, who faced charges related to the 2005 theft of the culturally significant slippers, had been in poor health, leading to delays in the legal proceedings. The dismissal marks the end of a high-profile investigation into the theft of the iconic film memorabilia, which has captivated public interest for years.

James Barber was executed by lethal injection in Alabama on Thursday evening, after being convicted and sentenced to death for the 2001 murder of 75-year-old Dorothy Epps. His execution marks the first in the state since February, when a pause in capital punishment was imposed due to a series of failed lethal injection attempts. Barber had requested to block his execution over fears of harm, but a federal appeals court panel rejected his request.
