Utah Governor Delays Gilmore Execution
Utah Governor Calvin Rampton stayed the execution of condemned killer Gary Mark Gilmore pending further action by the state board of pardons. The board will meet Wednesday to decide on potential further delay, commuting the sentence, or setting a new date. Gilmore appealed to the Utah Supreme Court to die Monday, which the court briefly allowed. The case raises constitutional questions and potential U.S. Supreme Court involvement.
