Con Wins Death Stay in Judge Affair Appeal

Posted Sep 10, 08 11:48 AM CDT in US Crime & Courts 

(Newser) – A Texas death-row inmate who filed an appeal alleging that an affair between the judge and prosecutor compromised his trial has been granted a stay of execution. But, ABC News reports, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals approved Charles Dean Hood's request based not on the affair but because of a problem with jury instructions during his trial for murder and robbery.
