Images showing parents and family members climbing up school buildings and holding onto windows just so they can pass cheat sheets to their children while they are testing. This all took place Wednesday in the state of Bihar, students were writing their year end 10th grade exams. The school teachers are surprised this could have even happen and its not worth the consequences. Cheating is supposedly common where they live, but this is far beyond what they've seen. With 1.8 million people, proper schooling may not be capable and that is probably why this is happening.

SCOTUS puts a temporary hold on Texas execution
On Thursday, the Supreme Court put a temporary hold on the execution of a Texas man with the name of Lester Bower, which has been on death row for 30 years. The Court decided to postpone the execution until the justices decide to look more into Lester’s case. Back in 1984 he was convicted in being part of a murder of four men while attempting to steal an ultra light aircraft. The state says that he was "properly convicted and sentenced to die" for the awful murders which consisted of Bobby Tate, Philip Good, Ronald Mayes, and Jerry Brown. His lawyers are of course trying to defend him, saying he did not abuse the legal system. The Court will soon bring up the situation in an upcoming closed door conference.
