Alabama has opposed Melson's request at
#SCOTUS for a stay of execution.https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3861410-16A1212-Melson-Stay-App-Resp.html … -
Per
#SCOTUS Public Information Office, the supplemental brief was withdrawn at the request of the applicant (Melson). -
Scheduled execution for Robert Melson was to begin nearly 3 hrs ago. Justice Thomas issued a temp stay for
#SCOTUS to consider stay request. -
For now, Alabama waits. Melson would be the 13th execution in the US this year & the 2nd in 2017 for AL, which executed Tommy Arthur in May.
