In Texas, a federal judge delayed the execution of Jeffery Wood yesterday, pending an evaluation to determine if Wood is competent enough to be able to understand why he is to be put to death. Jeffery Wood was to have been executed last night for being an accomplice in a 1996 convenience store robbery. Wood was sitting in a truck outside when the clerk was shot and killed. The man who pulled the trigger was executed six years ago, but Wood was given a death sentence for the same crime under the Texas law of parties.
