Spenkelink's Life Spared Amid Stay of Execution
Federal judges in Atlanta and Washington granted stays of execution for John A. Spenkelink, the Florida inmate set for lethal injection, hours before his scheduled 7 a.m. electrocution. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall later issued another stay as Darden's appeal also received a pause. The stays followed appeals challenging the adequacy of representation and prosecutorial conduct.
