U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel in San Jose delays even further Calif's stalled death penalty. Fogel canceled plans to tour California's new execution chamber later this month and temporarily halted proceedings in a lawsuit challenging the state's death penalty.
Judge Fogel delayed litigation in the federal lawsuit filed by condemned killer Michael Morales because a state court judge on Oct. 31 invalidated the state's death penalty on administrative grounds.
Fogel ordered lawyers to return to his courtroom in Jan. 17 to consider the next steps. (see also Feb. 7, 17, 21, Apr. 21, 27, Dec. 15 2006, and May 15, June 1 and Sept. 14 2007).
