Rhoades’ Execution Is On

U.S. Magistrate Judge Ron Bush has issued his 43-page decision in Paul Ezra Rhoades' last-minute bid for a stay of his execution - scheduled for Friday - while he challenges Idaho's lethal injection protocol, and the judge has denied a stay. That means Idaho's first execution since 1994 is on for this Friday at 8 a.m./Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: Relieved by decision? Or disappointed? Or something else?
