Condemned murderers may stave off hanging indefinitely after the county prosecuting attorney discovers a defect in the new law. The ruling potentially invalidates the statute for anyone now under death sentence or who may be sentenced before June 14 when the law takes effect. Charles Nordstrom, whose last appeal was denied, was to be hanged but gains a reprieve. Other condemned murderers in the state face similar delays.
