Death penalty opponents are waiting to see if Texas will proceed with what they say would be an unconstitutional execution. Texas’ Attorney General has appealed to the nation’s highest court to lift a stay on Edward Busby’s scheduled execution for today. There are reports that Texas officials plan to move forward with the execution despite a federal appellate court ruling last week that put a temporary hold on it pending a Supreme Court decision on a separate case.

Busby was convicted in the 2004 robbery and murder of a retired Texas Christian University professor. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
