The Georgia Supreme Court stayed the death sentence of Alexander Williams, scheduled for execution in the electric chair on Thursday. Williams, 17 at the time of the 1986 rape and murder of 16 year old Aleta Bunch in Augusta, has faced growing calls to spare him due to his age and mental illness. The stay is indefinite as the court weighs an appeal and no reasons were given for the delay.

Attorney General Janet Reno will not appoint a special prosecutor to probe Vice President Al Gore's 1996 political fundraising, despite pressure from federal investigators and GOP lawmakers.
