Jackson and other leaders see possible limited deregulation to move the plan, while Schlesinger signals flexibility to break the impasse.

Court of Appeals Upholds 1977 Death by Injection Law
The Court of Criminal Appeals upholds the 1977 switch from electric chair to lethal injection and denies habeas corpus for Kenneth Granviel and Billy Joe Battie of Tarrant County. Granviel admits killing seven, including five from the McLendon family, in rapes and slayings. Battie killed Peggy Hester during a 1975 robbery. The defense argues cruelty and vagueness but the court says injection may cause discomfort yet is humane and replaces earlier methods.
