OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The Nebraska Supreme Court has denied the
state’s request to reconsider a stay of execution for Carey Dean
Moore.
Last month, the state’s high court issued an order staying what
was to be Nebraska’s first execution using lethal injection, giving
attorneys for Moore a chance to challenge one of the execution
drugs on appeal.
The Nebraska Attorney General’s office submitted a motion asking
the state Supreme Court to reconsider the stay. On Wedneday, the
high court denied that request without comment.
