LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The latest ruling from the 8th Circuit Court has postponed Lee's execution -- originally scheduled for 7 p.m. -- to 8:15 p.m.
There are no other legal barriers at this time hindering his execution from moving forward.
Thursday afternoon, the Arkansas Supreme Court denied Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's request for reconsideration on the stay that was granted for Stacey Johnson. Johnson's stay will not be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, meaning his scheduled execution will not happen.

Too frustrating to even read.
Is it just me, or are a LOT of death row inmates named “Lee” or “Ray”?
I assume he attacked Caucasians....
Let me guess.. His favorite TV show ‘I Love Lucy’ is on at 7?
Stay expires at 9:15 CST. Which is about now.

Correction, apparently a SCOTUS stay is still in place, Justice Alito placed it to give the 8th time to review.
Order expired(??) at 9:30pm EDT according to SCOTUS website: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/042017zr2_5426.pdf
Writ denied, usual suspects would have granted, Breyer dissenting. Link: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/042017zr_ah26.pdf
But PP is going full tilt on killing kids because, Constitution or something something.
how old were the victims?.....how many lives destroyed or altered in terrible ways because of this one man....
hang the rotters and be done with it
Four justices approved the stay, short of the 5 required.
‘The application for stay of execution of sentences of
death presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to
the Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is
denied.
JUSTICE GINSBURG and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR would
grant the application for stay of execution and the petition
for a writ of certiorari.
JUSTICE BREYER and JUSTICE KAGAN would grant the
application for stay of execution.’
Guess we have the first indication from Gorsuch as to which side of the court he favors.
And time of death, 11:58 PM, CST. May his victims finally have their peace.
We need faster turn around rate, DNA testing and convictions could help do this although it seems the liberal progressives who kill babies in the womb find it more palatable to save murderers who kill our family members
