Supreme Courts Lifts Stay in Pending Conn. Execution
The Supreme Court today set aside a lower court stay of execution for Michael Ross of Connecticut. This clears the way for his execution. Ross waived his appeals but Public Defenders, no longer representing him, sought a competency hearing.
Kirby's Report, a Connecticut law blog, is following the case. He says that once the Second Circuit lifts its restraining order, which could be tomorrow, the state will be free to execute Ross at any time, possibly even tomorrow evening.
