Gov. Phil Bredesen this morning granted a 4-month reprieve in the execution of Phillip Workman, citing a federal criminal investigation that might be related to the case. Although Attorney General Paul Summers said he is confident that the facts of the case continue to support Workman's execution, he recommended to the governor, in the interest of fairness, that the reprieve be granted. Bredesen's announcement came today about 10:30 a.m. Workman's execution had been set for Sept. 24. Neither Summers nor Bredesen would give any details about the nature of the federal investigation.
