Appeals Court Halts Bass Execution in Texas Case

A federal appeals court blocked Charles W. Bass’s lethal injection, delaying his 12:01 a.m. execution in Huntsville for the 1979 killing of Houston Marshal Charles Baker. The stay, issued by the 5th U.S. Circuit, references to the Supreme Court, delaying the process for at least 30 days under Texas law. Bass would have been the nation’s first death by injection.
