: Breaking Legal NewsCalifornia calls off murderer's execution
By (Breaking Legal News)
The execution of a convicted rapist-murderer in California has been called off after rulings in state and federal courts, officials said Wednesday.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation removed Albert Greenwood Brown's execution from its calendar on Wednesday, a few hours after the California Supreme Court denied the state's request to proceed with the scheduled execution on Thursday night.
The state filed the request early Wednesday, after a federal court judge blocked Brown's execution Tuesday night. The execution would have been California's first since 2006, when challenges to the constitutionality of lethal injection forced the state to revise its measures.
