A death row inmate's execution was halted. This decision came after the inmate was denied clemency earlier in the day. The inmate had been sentenced to death for a crime committed in 2003.
The crime involved the killings of two real estate agents. A hearing will now be held to consider the inmate's case under a specific act.
Further details about the case and the hearing are available from the source.
