Execution stay granted. By ALEX AUBUCHON, February 18, 2015

The execution of an Alabama death row inmate has been put on hold.

               Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison, 2.18.2015.

 We have been on a roller coaster with Tommy Arthur’s proposed execution slated for tomorrow. Never before had we sent out an execution alert while the individual had a stay, but we had no choice. Now we are very glad to report that there is a stay from the Federal Court. Thank you to all who have written to the Governor, both here and in Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany and Great Britain. We appreciate all of you!

MONTGOMERY | A federal judge has stayed the execution of an Alabama inmate who was scheduled to put to death Thursday.

Friends,

Friends,
Normally we would not send out an Execution Alert when a stay is in effect. However Tommy Arthur was sent to the Warden’s office and told that it is expected that the execution will go ahead. Tommy Arthur was seen by medical in preparation and cleaning at Holman is in full swing as always happens at a time like this. So we ask you to please contact Governor Bentley asking for a stay!
