I think it had more to do with the fact that this was the exact same basis for appeal as that granted twice this week in Florida. It would hardly seem just if they grant a stay of execution twice and then deny a stay of execution for the same reason, especially if in the end the challenge is decided in favor of the Florida inmates.
What I don't quite get, though, is how any executions by lethal injection can now go forward until this is decided, since every one of them can be appealed on the exact same basis.
I say good. Bring back Old Sparky.
