April 12 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court ruled that the execution of an Alabama man should go forward, but the state will have to reschedule the lethal injection because the high court's ruling came during Friday's pre-dawn hours after the inmate's execution warrant expired.
Christopher Price, 46, was scheduled to die Thursday evening, but last-minute appeals led to a lengthy consideration by the Supreme Court, whose 5-4 ruling wasn't issued until 3 a.m. Price's execution warrant expired at midnight.
