Tennessee's next execution

was set for Wednesday, September 26, 2007.

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger barred the state from executing inmates under the state’s four-month-old lethal injection procedure. Link

Tennessee just asked the State Supreme Court to postpone the execution. The Court granted that request. Link

Update: the execution has been reset for January 8, 2007.
