At 6p, Supreme Ct. still hasn't ruled on last-ditch appeal by condemned Fla. killer John Ruthell Henry. Claiming mental incompetence.
@Miamicurt Is FL policy to wait on a SCOTUS ruling, even if there is no stay in place?

@chrisgeidner Yes, because what if you executed someone and then the court said don't? -
@Miamicurt Both Henry and Florida noted in today's filings that the execution is scheduled for 6p. -
@chrisgeidner The court's "death clerk" is in telephone contact with lawyers for both sides in these cases. That may be why Mo. acted. -
@Miamicurt OK, they're waiting. My point was just that, legally, they don't need to do so, & I was wondering if there was a specific policy.
