A death row inmate's execution has been delayed. Gary Wayne Sutton was convicted of murder in 1992 and has been on death row since 1996. His execution, initially set for December 3, was halted by Governor Bill Lee.

The delay comes after issues with another execution. Further details about the case and the reasons for the delay are available. Sutton's execution is now scheduled for at least a year from the original date, with a new date set for October 7, 2027.
