I understand that a Lee-only stay application was filed as well, but we have not gotten notice of that from
#SCOTUS. -

JUST IN: There are THREE new
#SCOTUS stay requests pending for Ledell Lee, per court's public information office. -

#SCOTUS review: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675145-16-8788-Lee-v-Hutchinson-Clemency.html … (and stays) -
BREAKING:
#SCOTUS—Justice Alito—issues temporary stay of execution for Lee until 9:30p ET or further order of the ct, whichever is later.pic.twitter.com/9CvUoDxE6o

That means that, regardless of what
#SCOTUS does, Arkansas is now on hold until 9:15p CT. -
