Convicted killer Jack Alderman was granted a stay of execution by a Fulton County judge Monday morning. Superior Court judge Melvin Westmoreland said in a hearing that Alderman's sentence should not be carried out until he receives a "meaningful" hearing with the state Board of Pardons and Paroles. Alderman was scheduled to die at 7pm tomorrow night for the death of his wife Barbara in Chatham County in 1974. Alderman is the longest serving prisoner on Georgia's death row.
