Alderman gets stay of execution

Convicted killer Jack Alderman received a stay by Georgia's top court Thursday, which delays his execution scheduled for today. In their decision, the state's top justices cited the move by the U.S Supreme Court to look at the challenge to lethal injection, and whether it violates the Constitution. Just recently, the nation's top court stepped-in to halt an execution in Virginia. Alderman is on death row for the murder of his wife in 1974.
