WASHINGTON (Reuters) -

A Mississippi death row inmate received a last-minute stay of execution from the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, adding to a series of reprieves since the justices last month agreed to rule on the lethal injection method.

The Supreme Court granted a stay of execution for Earl Wesley Berry 19 minutes before he was set to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Central Time (7 p.m. EDT) at the Mississippi State Penitentiary, the prison said.

Berry had eaten his last meal and said goodbye to family members but at the time of the stay had not been moved to the execution chamber just a few feet (meters) from his cell, said Tara Booth, a spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

What did he have for dinner?

I don't know ...

I guess we'll have to wait until he makes a post in the "Dinner" thread.

That fucker's a murderer. Too bad he didn't choke on the food. Reprieve is apparently based on his "history of mental illness."

Oddly most people on death row seem to have this trait in common.

I see your point, but was referring to the court's decision to let that murderous fucker live.

it isn't a pardon or a commuted sentence......the scheduling will be revisited once the Supreme Ct is done looking at the death penalty as a whole........therefore most likily he will still be executed just at a later date.
