The Untied States Supreme Court has refused to lift the stay in place regarding the execution of Roderick Nunley. Nunley, who was sentenced to death for the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a 15 year old girl in 1989. This case, which is now 21 years old, deals with the fact that the Defendant was sentenced to death by the Judge and not the Jury.
Given the body of case law regarding a Judge entering a death sentence, we expect the death sentence to be overturned.
