No Death Watch In Silver Bow County
Silver Bow county has suspended the death watch for condemned prisoners Steve Byrne and Gus Chronos after stays on their executions were issued. The move follows a legal opinion that the watch was customary rather than mandatory, leaving the inmates segregated but not under constant surveillance until a ruling on appeals. Beaverhead county still maintains the watch for its death row inmate.
