"Charles Dean Hood granted a stay of execution"

"Charles Dean Hood granted a stay of execution": The Dallas Morning News provides an update that begins, "The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has granted a stay of execution for Charles Dean Hood, who was set to die Wednesday for the killings of Tracie Wallace and Ronald Williamson in 1989 in Plano. The stay was based on an appeal filed last week that asked the court to reconsider an issue taken up over the summer. It is not related to revelations that the judge and prosecutor during Mr. Hood's trial have admitted in sworn affidavits taken Monday and Tuesday that they had a sexual relationship."

And The Associated Press reports that "Texas court stops execution set for Wednesday."
