HOUSTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a ruling delaying this week's scheduled execution of a Texas inmate for fatally shooting an 80-year-old woman more than two decades ago. The three-judge panel said that another case before the appeals court that was brought by a different Texas death row inmate raises similar issues. Political Cartoons View All 1205 ImagesThe Texas Attorney General’s Office had sought to overturn the stay order. If Murphy’s execution took place Tuesday, it would have occurred on World Day Against the Death Penalty, an annual day of advocacy by death penalty opponents. Last week, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unanimously declined to commute Murphy’s death sentence to a lesser penalty or grant a six-month reprieve.
