In this June 6, 2013 photo provided by the Missouri Department of Corrections is Maria Isa. Prison officials said that Isa died Wednesday, April 30, 2014 of apparent natural causes at a prison in Vandalia, Mo. The 70-year-old was serving a life sentence for the 1989 slaying of her teenage daughter in a crime that was chillingly captured on an FBI surveillance tape and apparently prompted by the girl’s resistance to the family’s Islamic traditions.

CORRECTS DATE OF REINSTATEMENT TO APRIL 29 INSTEAD OF APRIL 2 - FILE - In this Feb. 7, 2011 file photo a person smokes a Marlboro cigarette, a Phillip Morris product, in Hialeah, Fla. An Illinois appellate court on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 reinstated a decade-old $10.1 billion verdict in a class-action lawsuit against Phillip Morris USA that found the nation's biggest cigarette maker misled customers about "light" and "low tar" designations. Philip Morris swiftly decried Tuesday's ruling by a three-judge panel of the Mount Vernon-based 5th District Appellate Court, saying it would ask the Illinois Supreme Court to review the matter.

FILE - This is an undated file photo released by the Italian Police of 22-year-old murdered British university student Meredith Kercher. An Italian court that convicted Amanda Knox in her roommate's 2007 murder says the wounds indicate multiple aggressors, and that the two exchange students fought over money the night of the murder. The appellate court in Florence on Tuesday, April 29, 2014, issued a 337-page explanation for its January guilty verdicts against the American and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. The release of the court's reasoning opens the verdict to an appeal back to the supreme Court of Cassation. If it confirms the convictions, a long extradition fight for Knox is expected. She has been in the United States since 2011 when her earlier conviction was overturned. British student Meredith Kercher, 21, was found dead in a pool of blood in the apartment she and Knox shared in the town of Perugia. (AP Photo/Italian Police, File)
