Tennessee death penalty stays of execution

By Chuck Kallendorf

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Middle Tennessee U.S. District Court, , as have a number of others around the country, last Friday granted a stay of execution for Paul Dennis Reid pending the Supreme Court?s decision once hearing Baze v. Rees on Jan 7th.

The District Court earlier this year had declared the state?s execution protocol for lethal injection unconstitutional and enjoined it from executing Edward Jerome Harbison. The state is appealing that, but in the meantime, on October 31st., the Sixth Circuit has ordered that aspect held in abeyance pending the outcome in Baze.

The Court also stayed the execution of Pervis Payne on Dec. 7th., based on Harbison and pending Baze.

Also still pending, another lethal injection challenge in Ohio?s Southern District Court, is Cooey v. Taft., where two more death row inmates have petition for inclusion in that class action.
