The U.S. Supreme Court has directed the Louisiana Supreme Court to revisit the case of Rogers Lacaze, in light of a recent ruling in which the high court found that recusal is required when "the risk of bias" on the part of a judge is "too high to be constitutionally tolerable."

The decision marks a stunning turn for Rogers LaCaze, who won a fleeting victory in January 2016 when an ad hoc state judge, Michael Kirby, granted him a new trial based on a different challenge.

The Nobel Peace Center, which will have an exhibition with photos of Michael Lambrix next year, has sent through a solidarity remark on behalf of their staff asking for him to be able to have a clemency hearing.

The Lambrix family prays every night at St Jude Novena and ask people who want, to join them in prayer. Here is the text. They pray at 9 PM but apparently the time is not important

(prayer of St. Jude Saint of lost causes)

The St Jude Novena

1. Make your request : St Jude, I ask that you intervene in Michael Lambrix's behalf and stop this scheduled execution and compel the courts to grant him judicial relief.

2. Then say: " o Holly St. Jude, apostle and Martyr great in virtues and rich in miracles, near in kinsmen of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke you, special patron in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depths of my heart, and humbly beg you to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance, Help me now in my present and urgent need and grant my earnest petition, In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked"

3. Then say Our Father (3) times, the Hail Mary ( 3 time) and glory be (3) times.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and leas us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of the womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God pray for us sinners now at the hour of our death, Amen.

Glory be to thy Father, and to the son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
