JUST IN: The 8th Circuit denied the request in Lee v. Jegley as well.pic.twitter.com/qKLUvj6Rpd
-
As far as I can tell, there are no 8th Circuit appeals that remain pending.
-
That means we are awaiting word from
#SCOTUS — although likely stay applications pending cert in the DNA cases will be going to SCOTUS, too. -
Recall that Justice Alito's stay was until 9:30p ET or further order from the court — whichever was LATER. So,
#SCOTUS stay stands. -
My latest, as of 9:38p CT,

And, here is Lee's stay application that I suspected would be coming out of the 8th Circuit DNA case denial: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675179-16A1018-Stay-App-CA8.html …pic.twitter.com/bqu0hrDRTd

#SCOTUS.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.fo9OjMpnV6#.lrqNqW0e4j … -
90 minutes left for Ledell Lee's execution. Still awaiting word from

Justice Alito granted a temporary stay of execution for Lee so
#SCOTUS could consider last-minute stay requests.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.fo9OjMpnV6#.lrqNqW0e4j … -
And, it's midnight at
#SCOTUS — meaning 11p and one hour left on Ledell Lee's death warrant in Arkansas.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.tdgm76pY3O#.qxMRBr0mjP … -
A stay of execution remains in effect, per Justice Alito's order, as
#SCOTUS considers Lee's pending stay requests.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.tdgm76pY3O#.qxMRBr0mjP … -
With 45 minutes left on the death warrant, we're back to the Monday questions about what ~legally~ has to be done before midnight.
-
And, whether the state officials and executioners know what that is.
-
On Monday in Arkansas, reporters weren't able to get answers to these questions.
-
Here we are, a second night this week, waiting in the last hour of a death warrant for final word from
#SCOTUS. -
