In this Wednesday, April 2, 2014 photo, David Bush, chair of the Friends and Descendants of Johnson Island Civil War Prison, works inside a tent to prepare for "Park Day. " Volunteers will help clean up the Civil War prison site. From 1862 to 1865, more than 10,000 Confederate inmates were held in the Johnson Island Civil War Prison. Some never left: about 250 white stones — a few with the stark engraving "unknown" mark the nearby cemetery where men from Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and other southern states found their final resting place.

FILE - In this July 17, 2013, file photo, David Renz, 29, right, stands next to his defense attorney Ken Moynihan in Onondaga County Court in Syracuse, N.Y. A young girl raped by Renz, who was released from jail while awaiting a child pornography trial is suing the federal government for $110 million. A lawyer representing David Renz's victim says in court papers the U.S. Probation Office failed to follow its own policies for monitoring a criminal defendant released with an electronic ankle bracelet in the months before the attack last March. The suit claims that allowed Renz to rape the 10-year-old suburban Syracuse girl and kill her mother. (AP Photo/The Syracuse Newspapers, Post-Standard, Dick Blume)

Theodore Wafer appears in court while Wayne County Court judge Quiana Lillard denied a motion to remove herself from a case involving Wafer of Dearborn Heights who fatally shot an unarmed woman on his porch, on Friday, April 4, 2014 in Detroit. Lillard rejected the motion filed by Wafer's attorneys, who argued that her previous employment with the prosecutor's office and associations with employees create an appearance of impropriety. Lillard was a prosecutor for more than eight years before Gov. Rick Snyder appointed her to the bench last August. Wafer is charged with second-degree murder after shooting Renisha McBride, 19, at his Dearborn Heights home. He said he believed McBride wanted to break in. Prosecutors say Wafer should have kept the door shut and called police instead of shooting. McBride was drunk and in a car crash three hours earlier. (AP Photo/Detroit Free Press, Regina H.
