@mattyb oh official clearance - now it's just whether they do it tonight, and whether it is a "success." I read somewhere they have until Friday evening to perform the execution?
fully agree on both of these things. he's had his last meal and I see this note:
The execution is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. local time but could be delayed because of legal action or preparation. The state has until 6 a.m. Friday to carry out the execution.
I interpret this as a slight chance it would be put off if there was anything in motion, even without action from the Supreme Court? I'm not really sure how all of this stuff works.
48 mins ago from the NYT:
The state plans to execute Kenneth Smith on Thursday using the untested method of nitrogen hypoxia. Mr. Smith was served his last meal, as his lawyers pleaded with the Supreme Court to intervene.
