Texas execution of 'desert killer,' on death row for 30 years, blocked by court
Fox News
David Wood, 67, was set to be executed Thursday after being on death row longer than any other Texas inmate
Six of the nine members of the court made that decision, FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth reported. Judges Mary Lou Keel and Gina Parker disagreed with staying Wood's execution and Judge Bert Richardson, who had heard all of Wood's appeals in trial court since 2011, did not participate.
This was another delay for Wood, who was previously set for execution in 2009 when it was put on hold about 24 hours beforehand over claims he was intellectually disabled and thus ineligible for execution. Those claims were later rejected by a judge, and Wood had been set to die Thursday.
