The Supreme Court has issued a last-minute stay of execution in the case of a Florida death row prisoner who claims he is mentally retarded. Lawyers for Clarence Hill, who had been scheduled to be executed at Florida State Prison Tuesday night, are also challenging the state on what kinds of drugs would be used for his execution. Hill was convicted for the 1982 shooting of a police officer.
