Nevada man in 11th hour reprieve

The Nevada Supreme Court has postponed the execution
of a murderer on the day he was due to die by lethal
injection.

The execution was suspended pending a decision from
the US Supreme Court on the constitutionality of
lethal injections.

William Castillo, 34, was sentenced to death as
punishment for the murder of an 86-year-old woman
in 1995.

If the Supreme Court decides against lethal injections
then the method could be outlawed throughout the
country.
