2 stays
this one looks like a con from central casting :O
The United States Supreme Court on Tuesday granted a temporary stay of execution to Cleve Foster, a former Army recruiter who was convicted of killing a woman he met in a Fort Worth bar.
It was the second time this year that Mr. Foster, who had been scheduled to be executed Tuesday evening in Texas, had been spared by the court hours before his appointed death.
The reprieve for Mr. Foster, 47, will remain in place while the court examines whether he received effective counsel during the course of his case
And Monday, the Supreme Court delayed the execution of Daniel W. Cook, who is on death row in Arizona and was scheduled to be executed on Tuesday. Lawyers for Mr. Cook, who has also been convicted of murdering two people, have said his initial lawyers failed to present evidence of extreme physical and sexual abuse in his childhood.
