Execution Stopped With Minutes to Spare

Nevada halted an execution today 90 minutes before it was to take place. In light of the Supreme Court's decision to evaluate the method of execution by lethal injection, several states have halted their impending executions. The condemned inmnate did not desire to have his case appealed and was supposedly "ready to die," but the ACLU filed a petition to have the execution stopped.
