The Supreme Court has denied a last minute appeal from an Ohio man scheduled to be executed Tuesday morning.
The court on Tuesday denied appeals from Reginald Brooks, who is
scheduled to be executed for fatally shooting his three sons while they
slept.
State and U.S. courts have rejected attorneys' arguments that the
66-year-old Brooks is not mentally competent and that the government
withheld relevant evidence that could have affected Brooks' case.
The appeals first went to Justice Elena Kagan and then to the rest of the court, where it was rejected without comment.

Apple defends use of iPad name in Chinese court
Apple defended its right to use the iPad trademark in China in a heated
court hearing Wednesday that pitted the electronics giant against a
struggling company that denies it sold the mainland China rights to the
tablet's name.
Shenzhen Proview Technology's lawyer Xie Xianghui argued that the sale of the iPad trademark to Apple Inc. by Proview's Taiwan affiliate in 2009 was invalid.
"Apple has no right to sell iPads under that name," Xie said. Apple countered that Proview violated the sales contract by failing to transfer the trademark rights in mainland China.
It also contends that the Chinese LCD maker has not marketed or sold its own "IPAD," or Internet Personal Access Device for years, thus possibly invalidating its claim to the trademark.
The hearing adjourned after a fractious four-hour session which saw the judge repeatedly admonishing both sides to observe proper court protocol as they argued across the courtroom. No date was announced for a judgment or further hearings.
Proview is suing to stop Apple selling the iPad in China under that name. It has also asked commercial authorities in many cities to stop sales of the device. So far, iPads have been pulled from shelves in some Chinese cities but there has been no sign of action at the national level.

Strauss-Kahn has March court date in US
A New York court has scheduled a hearing on a lawsuit filed by the woman
who accused former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique
Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan hotel.
Prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Strauss-Kahn last year, but his accuser has demanded damages in civil court.
The March 15 hearing will deal with issues that must be resolved before a trial, which has yet to be scheduled.
Strauss-Kahn wants the lawsuit dismissed because he says he had diplomatic immunity. He isn't required to attend the March court session.
The hotel maid who says she was attacked and forcibly sodomized by Strauss-Kahn is Nafissatou Diallo (na-fee-SAH'-too dee-AH'-loh). Her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, says she is "looking forward to her day in court and can't wait to get to trial."

Court seems split on double jeopardy question
The Supreme Court seemed divided Wednesday on whether to allow an
Arkansas man to be retried on murder charges even though a jury
forewoman said in open court that they were unanimously against finding
him guilty.
Alex Blueford of Jacksonville, Ark., was charged in July 2008 in the death of 20-month-old Matthew McFadden Jr. Blueford testified at trial that he elbowed the boy in the head by accident. Authorities say the child was beaten to death.
Blueford's murder trial ended in a hung jury. The jury forewoman told the judge before he declared a mistrial that the jury voted unanimously against capital murder and first-degree murder. The jury deadlocked on a lesser charge, manslaughter, which caused the mistrial.
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled last year that Blueford should be retried on the original charges. But Blueford's lawyers want justices to bar a second trial on capital and first-degree murder charges, saying that would violate Fifth Amendment protections preventing someone from being tried twice for the same crime.
