Supreme Court grants last-minute stay in Texas execution of man requesting DNA tests

Death row inmate Ruben Gutierrez was set to receive a lethal injection on Tuesday at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, before the Supreme Court issued a stay.

Ruben Gutierrez has been seeking DNA tests on multiple crime-scene items from the murder case against him for more than a decade. His legal team says a Texas law blocking his effort is unconstitutional.
