Supreme Court Grants Last Minute Stay in Autry Execution
U S Supreme Court Justice Byron White granted a stay of execution for James David Autry less than an hour before lethal injection. The stay, pending appeal to the Fifth Circuit, came after White joined a 5 4 majority earlier that day denying a previous request. Autry, 29, from Amarillo, was condemned for the 1980 Port Arthur killing of a store clerk.
