ST. LOUIS — The Latest on the stay of execution for a Missouri inmate (all times local):6:30 p.m. The U.S. Supreme Court has granted a stay of execution for a Missouri inmate who argued that a medical condition could result in the process causing him undue suffering. In a statement, the Supreme Court said it granted the stay in the execution. Bucklew, 49, was within an hour of execution in May 2014 when the U.S. Supreme Court halted it over concerns about Bucklew’s rare medical condition, cavernous hemangioma. His attorney, Cheryl Pilate, is again asking the Supreme Court to intervene, claiming Bucklew’s condition has only gotten worse.
