Florida man convicted of killing 2 people outside a bar set to be put to death

A Florida man who was convicted in the 1993 shooting deaths of a man and woman outside a bar as part of an attempted revenge killing is set to be executed on Tuesday. Michael Bernard Bell, 54, is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near the city of Starke, unless he is granted a last-day reprieve. Bell was convicted in 1995 and sentenced to death in the killings of Jimmy West and Tamecka Smith. In December 1993, Bell spotted what he suspected was the car of the man who had killed his brother earlier that year, according to court records. Bell appeared to be unaware that the man had sold the car to West. Bell called two friends and armed himself with an AK-47 before locating the car parked outside a liquor lounge and waiting for the vehicle owner to come outside. When West, Smith and another woman eventually exited the club, Bell approached the car and fired his gun, according to officials. West died at the scene and Smith succumbed to her injuries on the way to the hospital. The other woman was not injured. Witnesses reported that Bell also fired at a crowd of onlookers before fleeing the scene. Bell was arrested the following year. He was also later convicted of three additional murders that happened prior to the shooting at the bar. He fatally shot a woman and her toddler in 1989, and he killed his mother's boyfriend about four months before shooting West and Smith, officials said. Attorneys for Bell have filed appeals with the Florida Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. In their state filing, the attorneys argued that Bell's execution should be blocked because of newly discovered evidence concerning witness testimony. But justices unanimously rejected the argument last week, citing what they described as overwhelming evidence of Bell's guilt. Bell's attorneys filed a similar petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, although the nation's highest court has not yet issued a ruling as his execution time nears. Bell would be the eighth person executed in Florida this year, and a ninth is scheduled for later this month. The state put six people to death in 2023, but only one execution happened last year. Across the U.S., 25 men have been executed so far this year, matching last year's total. Florida has executed more people this year than any other state, while Texas and South Carolina are tied for second place with four each. The states that follow are Alabama with three executions and Oklahoma with two, while Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee each have put one person to death.

Who's on the Epstein client list? Someone who may know is asking Supreme Court for relief.

As the fight escalates among MAGA supporters over what the Trump administration is and isn't disclosing about Jeffrey Epstein's potential clients, the legal battle of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell is also heating up. Maxwell, who was convicted of trafficking a minor to engage in sex acts with Epstein, may know if Epstein had clients who were involved in a sex-trafficking ring and if he kept a so-called "black book" listing their names. The Justice Department said this month, in reference to Epstein's case, that no such list exists in its records. In a memo released July 7, the department said a "systematic review" of documents related to Epstein "revealed no incriminating 'client list,'" and that "no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted." Government lawyers urged the Supreme Court on July 14 to reject Maxwell's appeal of her 2021 sex-trafficking conviction. Maxwell is arguing that a 2007 plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein meant prosecutors shouldn't have been able to go after her. The 2007 agreement, which many who are familiar with the case regard as an overly lenient deal for Epstein following accusations of child sexual abuse, included a provision protecting potential Epstein co-conspirators from criminal charges. Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to two state prostitution offenses and received a sentence of just 18 months. However, the government says the prosecution against Maxwell didn't run afoul of that deal because the deal only applied to prosecutions in the Southern District of Florida. Maxwell was prosecuted in the Southern District of New York, where she was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The Supreme Court is now set to decide whether to review Maxwell's case or outright reject her latest appeal.
