HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court is set to examine whether the nation’s busiest state for capital punishment is trying to put to death a convicted killer who’s intellectually disabled. That would make him ineligible for execution under the court’s current guidance.

Lawyers for 57-year-old prisoner Bobby James Moore contend that Texas’ highest criminal court ignored current medical standards and used outdated standards when it decided Moore isn’t mentally disabled.

The state attorney general’s office says Texas “fully complies” with Supreme Court precedents.

The Supreme Court in 2002 ruled that people who are mentally disabled may not be executed.

Arguments in Moore’s case are set for Tuesday.

Moore’s lawyers want his death sentence set aside. He was convicted of fatally shooting a Houston grocery clerk during a 1980 robbery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Students and administrators raised concerns about a Tennessee school bus driver’s behavior behind the wheel in the weeks before a crash killed six children.

Police have charged the driver Johnthony Walker with vehicular homicide after the Chattanooga crash. Federal authorities said Walker was driving off the designated bus route when he wrecked on a curvy road while carrying 37 children on their way home from Woodmore Elementary School.

Records released by the school district on Friday include two written statements by students complaining about Walker’s driving. One said the driver would stop the bus to make students moving from their seats hit their heads. Another wrote: “We need seat belts.”

The school’s principal asked for video of the bus leaving campus, saying that in her opinion he was “driving way too fast.”

Chattanooga police say an elementary school bus crash has sent 23 people to area hospitals.

Police Chief Fred Fletcher said 35 schoolchildren were on the bus Monday afternoon. He did not have information about the extent of injuries and said rescue efforts were continuing.

Fletcher said at a news conference that the bus was the only vehicle involved in the crash. The students on board ranged from kindergarten through fifth grade.

At the state Capitol in Nashville, Gov. Bill Haslam called the crash “a tragic event” and offered assistance.

Fletcher said police were interviewing the bus driver to determine what happened.

ATLANTA (AP) — The FBI says the number of hate crimes reported to police increased by about 6.7 percent last year, led largely by a 67 percent surge in crimes against Muslims.

The reporting period covers the calendar year 2015, and includes the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. Civil rights groups had raised concerns about an anti-Muslim backlash in the U.S. even before the attacks.

According to the data released Monday, there were 257 incidents of anti-Muslim bias in 2015, compared to 154 incidents in 2014. The number is second only to the surge in hate crimes following the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001.

A portion of the increase could be due to an increase in reporting by victims as well as better reporting and tracking by law enforcement agencies.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The number of Americans living in states with recreational marijuana more than tripled after at least three more states voted to fully legalize the drug.

But the election of Republican Donald Trump and GOP majorities in the Senate and House tempered advocates’ excitement about an anticipated federal easing of restrictions.

Ethan Nadelmann is founder of the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-legalization group. He and other advocates say the president-elect is “unpredictable.” And they are unsure where he stands on marijuana issues.

Trump has said in the past that he supports state laws legalizing medical marijuana.

Still, the industry may be too big and valuable for a Trump administration to stop. Seven states have now legalized recreational pot, including California, the nation’s most populous, and Nevada and Massachusetts.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A strong batch of new films drew audiences to the theaters in large numbers this weekend, including Marvel’s “Doctor Strange,” the animated “Trolls” and Mel Gibson’s WWII drama “Hacksaw Ridge,” effectively waking up the sleepy fall box office.

As the superhero in the bunch, “Doctor Strange” easily dominated with $85 million in North America theaters according to studio estimates Sunday. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the neurosurgeon turned sorcerer, “Doctor Strange” opened internationally last weekend.

“Trolls,” an animated musical featuring the voices of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake, took second place with $45.6 million.

And in third place, “Hacksaw Ridge,” about the true story of Desmond Doss’s heroics during the battle of Okinawa, earned $14.8 million. The independently financed film cost a reported $40 million to make.

DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government’s top auto safety regulator says Honda must do more to make sure 300,000 cars with highly dangerous Takata air bag inflators are repaired.

Mark Rosekind, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, says the agency has talked to Honda about hiring private investigators to track down owners or even taking service trucks into neighborhoods to repair cars on the spot.

Tests show that inflators in 313,000 older Hondas and Acuras have up to a 50 percent chance of rupturing in a crash and shooting shrapnel at the driver. Only 13,000 of the cars have been fixed since June.

Rosekind spoke to reporters at an auto parts supplier conference Wednesday in Detroit.

CHICAGO (AP) — Another folk medicine remedy bites the dust. Cranberry capsules didn’t prevent or cure urinary infections in nursing home residents in a study challenging persistent unproven claims to the contrary.

The research adds to decades of conflicting evidence on whether cranberries in any form can prevent extremely common bacterial infections, especially in women.

Many studies suggesting a benefit were based on weak science. But marketers and even some doctors still recommend cranberry juice or capsules. An editorial released with the study Thursday says the results are convincing, and that that it’s time to find better ways to treat these infections.

The study and editorial are in the online version of Journal of the American Medical Association.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Army says two Fort Campbell soldiers are being held as “persons of interest” in another soldier’s disappearance nearly two months ago.

Fort Campbell didn’t identify these soldiers, and says law enforcement at the Army post straddling the Kentucky-Tennessee line are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Pfc. Shadow McClaine.

The Army says McClaine failed to report back for duty as an air traffic control tower operator after the Labor Day weekend.

McClaine’s mother, London Wegrzyn of Yuba City, California, said Wednesday she last heard from her 25-year-old daughter in an exchange of texts on Sept. 2. She says her daughter was dog sitting for a friend and gave no indication anything was wrong.

Wegrzyn says she’s praying detainees will tell authorities what they know.

CHICAGO (AP) — New research shows cigarettes contribute to more than 1 in 4 cancer deaths in the U.S. The rate is highest among men in southern states where smoking is more common and tobacco control policies are less strict.

The American Cancer Society study found the highest rate among men in Arkansas, where 40 percent of cancer deaths were linked to cigarette smoking. Kentucky had the highest rate among women — 29 percent.

The lowest rates were in Utah, where 22 percent of cancer deaths in men and 11 percent in women were linked with smoking.

The researchers analyzed 2014 health surveys and government data. They estimated how many cancer deaths were likely attributable to smoking, and compared that with deaths from all cancers.

Results were published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
