"Texas Judge Denies Fault in Handling of Appeal"

"Texas Judge Denies Fault in Handling of Appeal": Thursday's edition of The New York Times will contain an article that begins, "Accused of denying a condemned man the chance for a last appeal hours before the state's lethal drug cocktail stopped his heart, the highest-ranking criminal judge in Texas was called to the witness stand on Wednesday for the second day to defend her decision, her reputation and potentially her job."

Texas Lawyer has an article headlined "Finger-Pointing Abounds at Hearing Into Misconduct Claims Against Texas Judge; Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Sharon Keller is accused of ignoring a last-minute appeal that could have halted the execution of a death row inmate in 2007."

And The Associated Press reports that "Judge stands by closing ahead of death-row appeal."
