This just in from the Georgia Supreme Court:
GEORGIA SUPREME COURT GRANTS STAYAtlanta, October 18, 2007 – The Supreme Court of Georgia today granted a stay of execution for Jack Alderman, who was scheduled to die tomorrow, October 19, by lethal injection. In its order, the Court points out that the issue of the constitutionality of lethal injection is currently being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. It also cites the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Wednesday to stay the Virginia execution of Christopher Emmett pending an appeal in which lethal injection is challenged.
