| A
Fulton County judge has granted a stay of execution for a Georgia
man who was set to be put to death by lethal injection Tuesday
night.
Judge
Melvin Westmoreland ordered that Jack Alderman not be put to death
until he has a "meaningful" appointment with the State
Board of Pardons and Paroles.
The
judge says the execution should not be carried out until the board
grants an in-person appeal for clemency by Alderman's legal team.
Alderman
is under a death sentence for choking and bludgeoning his wife to
death in
Chatham
County
in 1974.
