Warren Hill, the retarded man who was to have been executed last Monday has been granted a stay of execution. The stay is on the grounds of the provenance of the drugs that the state of Georgia obtained to carry out the execution. The source of the drugs has been declared a "state secret" and Hill's lawyers are claiming that they might be from an illegal source and their effects unknown. We are bringing this to your knowledge for information only.
