Inmate loses bid to block Louisiana execution
Stering Rault, condemned for raping and killing a secretary in New Orleans, moved to the death house as his bid for a seventh Supreme Court stay fails. Gov Edwards and the Pardon Board last efforts to halt the sentence have not succeeded. Rault would be the 14th execution in the state since 1976. Wayne Ritter in Alabama seeks last-minute relief six days before execution. The Alabama case concerns the 1977 slaying of pawnbroker Edward Nassar.
