Becky Washa, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, cries as she holds a photo of her sister Holly Washa, Thursday, outside the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, Wash. The state Supreme Court stayed the execution of Cal Coburn Brown, who killed Holly Washa in 1991, on Thursday, just hours before he was to die in what would have been Washington state’s first execution since 1991.

Good. I don’t know the details of this case, but one death is better than two. My heart does go out to Ms. Becky, though.
