Trump set to romp in Florida as polls close on Super Tuesday Two:  GOP front-runner is on

NEW Donald Trump is poised to add 99 delegates to his Republican National Convention total on Tuesday night with a victory in Florida's Republican primary election. The state's winner-take-all rules, shared by Ohio's Tuesday primary match-up, will translate to a windfall of spoils for The Donald if he wins by a landslide as expected - or even by a single vote. Polls closed in most of Florida at 7:00 p.m., with some voting precincts in the state's Central Daylight Time panhandle remaining open a half-hour later. Ohio governor John Kasich, top right, is expected to give Trump close race in that state as polling puts him ahead of Trump by as many as 5 percentage points in the Buckeye State. It is a make or break night for Marco Rubio, bottom right, who may drop out if he is beaten in his home state of Florida. Five states are going to the polls tonight: Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois.

Donald Trump rises every morning at 4am after just three hours sleep. He collects five or six newspapers, then retreats for hours before emerging in golf gear.

When he wears a red cap, he is in a bad mood. And over the years he has had a roster of exes who tried - and failed - to put their stamp on the place, including Marla Maples (top right) who 'really didn't belong here'.

A man on death row for killing two undercover New York City police officers cannot be put to death because he meets the legal standard to be considered intellectually disabled, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. In his 76-page decision, U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas Garaufis vacated a prior order that sentenced Ronell Wilson, 33, to death and instead sentenced him to life in federal prison without parole. Wilson was a young gang member on Staten Island when he was charged in the March 10, 2003, point-blank shootings of undercover detectives James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews in an illegal gun sting gone awry. The officers were shot in the backs of their heads. During court proceedings in 2006, a prosecutor said Wilson was a member of a gang known as the Stapleton Crew and that he may have been trying to steal $1,200 from the undercover detectives. Nemorin and Andrews posed as prospective buyers of a Tec-9 pistol, the New York Times reported. A jury convicted Wilson and sentenced him to die by lethal injection, making him the first federal defendant to receive a death sentence in New York City since the 1950s.
