Gilmore execution stalled by appeals and infirmary move
Convicted killer Gary Gilmore remained in custody as a stay delayed his firing squad death. Utah prison officials moved him to an infirmary to prevent self harm while his mother’s appeal vies with the U.S. Supreme Court over a possible halt to the December 6 execution deadline. His hunger strike continues after a dispute over a phone call to Nicole Barrett amid ongoing legal appeals and charges over two killings.
