Attorneys for death row inmate Jack Alderman will be back before the state Board of Pardons and Paroles today, looking to block his execution set for Friday. Yesterday, Georgia’s Supreme Court denied Alderman’s request for stay of execution. The decision by Georgia’s top court comes as other states have put executions on hold while the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether lethal injection violates the Constitution. Nevada just last night became the latest state to halt an execution--just 90 minutes before it was to take place.
