UPDATE: Morales Execution Postponed Indefinitely

The state has indefinitely postponed the execution claiming that it is unable to comply with court ordered medical procedures regarding the method of lethal injection. Evidentiary hearings are scheduled for some time in May 2006
Execution of Morales Postponed

The Execution of Morales has been postponed reportedly after the anesthesiologists involved refused to participate. It seems that there was confusion over the language of the ruling issued by U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel regarding how the lethal injection was to be conducted. The execution is said to be re-scheduled for 7:30 PM tonight. It is still uncertain if it will be conducted at that time or even within the 24 hour window as prescribed by California law.
