the Georgia Supreme Court granted a stay of execution to Curtis Osborne who was scheduled to die by lethal injection October 23, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson.
Osborne, 37, had been set to die for killing Linda Lisa Seaborne and Arthur Jones on Aug. 6, 1990.
The court said it was granting an indefinite stay to Osborne because the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether lethal injection constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
Last week, the state Supreme Court issued a stay to convicted killer Jack Alderman for the same reason (see Oct. 18).
