Man's Ebola relapse spawned dozens of new cases in Africa
(AP Photo/Jerome Delay, File)A man in Africa who developed Ebola despite receiving a vaccine recovered but suffered a relapse nearly six months later that led to 91 new cases before he died. This is the first one clearly shown to have spawned a large cluster of new cases. In June 2019, he developed symptoms and was diagnosed with the disease. In late November, he again developed symptoms and sought care at a health center and from a traditional healer. Giving them to Ebola patients is thought to boost the immune system, and studies suggest they improve survival.

No execution: Courts side with inmate wanting pastor present
The lethal injection of Willie B. Smith III was called off Thursday, Feb. 11, 2021, when the U.S. Supreme Court maintained an injunction. The state prison system said the execution would not proceed given the ruling. โAlabama has not carried its burden of showing that the exclusion of all clergy members from the execution chamber is necessary to ensure prison security. Smith had sought to allow his spiritual adviser, Pastor Robert Wiley, in the execution chamber, something the state does not allow. In the past, Alabama routinely put a Christian prison chaplain, who was employed by the state, in the execution chamber to pray with an inmate if requested.

Play 'Thoughts of a Colored Man' to get a Broadway run
NEW YORK โ Playwright Keenan Scott II's play โThoughts of a Colored Man,โ a work about the outer and inner lives of Black men, is heading to the bright lights of Broadway. The play will be given a Shubert theater and will open whenever Broadway restarts. The play made its world premiere last year at Syracuse Stage and also was produced at Baltimore Center Stage. While discussions of transferring โThoughts of a Colored Manโ to Broadway predated the protests, Moreland said the show's championing of diversity and inclusion fits perfectly in an era of Black Lives Matter and outcries over young Black deaths. Several theater companies โ including The Public Theater, Second Stage Theater, Roundabout Theatre Company and Lincoln Center Theater โ have appointed or elevated theater artists of color.

Court won't revive state fraud charges against Manafort
NEW YORK โ A New York court on Thursday upheld a decision dismissing state mortgage fraud charges against Paul Manafort on double jeopardy grounds, affirming a lower court finding that they mirrored the federal charges that landed President Donald Trumpโs former campaign chairman behind bars. A four-judge panel in the state's intermediate appeals court ruled that Manhattan prosecutors failed to show that the state charges they brought against Manafort last year warranted an exception to state double jeopardy protections. Manhattan Judge Maxwell Wiley reached the same conclusion in December, explaining at the time that "the law of double jeopardy in New York state provides a very narrow window for prosecution." Prosecutors contended that the state charges qualified for an exception because they were meant to prevent โvery different kindsโ of harm than the federal charges that landed Manafort behind bars and that Wiley had taken an โexceedingly broad viewโ in reaching his decision. In their appeal, Manhattan prosecutors acknowledged their case involved some of the same issues as the federal case.

White House lawyer Kate Todd in running for high court seat
Kate Comerford Todd is a deputy White House counsel, helping navigate Trump's White House through a thicket of legal issues. Her experience is otherwise diverse: she's twice counseled the White House, worked at a prestigious law firm and represented the interests of a leading business advocacy group. โShe is absolutely brilliant,โ said Helgi Walker, a partner at the Gibson Dunn law firm who also served as a Thomas law clerk and as an associate White House counsel to Bush. Amy Coney Barrett is emerging as the early favorite to be the nominee after he met with her Monday before leaving the White House to campaign in Ohio. At the White House, for instance, she has helped vet federal judges but much of her work has taken place outside of public view and outside the headlines.

Twitter faces backlash over handling of anti-Semitic posts
LONDON Some Twitter users are staging a 48-hour boycott of the platform over its handling of a stream of anti-Semitic comments that were posted on British rapper Wileys social media accounts. The boycott, under the hashtag #NoSafeSpaceForJewHate, followed complaints that Twitter was too slow to remove offensive material. U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel has written to the social media companies demanding an explanation as to the speed of their response. Some of Wileys posts were visible for more than 12 hours before being removed. Twitter banned the grime artist for seven days after posts Friday and Saturday.
