       Feds To Execute Man Who Killed 2 Youth Ministers In Texas--

       WASHINGTON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – The Justice Department on Friday
       scheduled the execution of a man convicted in the 1999 killing
       of two youth ministers in Texas.
       Brandon Bernard, 40, is scheduled to be executed by lethal
       injection on Dec. 10.
       Bernard and his co-defendant, Christopher Vialva, were convicted
       in the 1999 kidnapping and killing of Todd and Stacie Bagley, an
       Iowa couple who had stopped to use a payphone in Killeen, Texas.
       The couple agreed to give Vialva and two others a ride,
       authorities said. Vialva pulled out a gun, forced the couple
       into the trunk and drove around for several hours, stopping at
       ATMs to withdraw cash and attempting to pawn the woman’s wedding
       ring, according to prosecutors.
       Both the victims were shot in the head and placed in the trunk
       of their car, which then was set on fire.
       Vialva was executed last month at the Federal Correctional
       Complex in Terre Haute.
       The resumption of federal executions started July 14, with the
       execution of former white supremacist Daniel Lewis Lee.
       Since then, six others have been put to death and another man,
       Orlando Hall, is scheduled to be executed next month.
       Anti-death penalty groups say President Donald Trump is pushing
       for executions during the campaign season in a bid to burnish a
       reputation as a law-and-order leader.
       Before the resumptions of executions this summer, federal
       authorities had executed just three prisoners in the previous 56
       years.
