District Judge Fernando Gaitan, Jr. today ordered the State of Missouri to halt all executions until its procedures are reviewed. Labels: Courts
The Associated Press is reporting that the judge said those procedures presented an "unnecessary risk" of "unconstitutional pain and suffering" to inmates on death row.
The decision could mean some extra time for Reggie Clemons, whose case supporters had previously planned to meet tonight to discuss. The Justice for Reggie campaign meeting is tonight at 7:00 at the Legacy Bookstore, 5249 Delmar Blvd.
