Another Texas Death Row Inmate Sees Execution Delayed After Claiming Violation Of Religious Freedom
Ruben Gutierrez, 44, was set to be executed on Oct. 27 for fatally stabbing an 85-year-old woman in 1998.
But on Wednesday, Sept. 15, a judge granted a request by the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office to vacate the execution date.
Prosecutors said the U.S. Supreme Court’s upcoming review of similar religious freedom issues made by another inmate, John Henry Ramirez, whose execution the high court delayed last week, will impact Gutierrez’s case. Ramirez made similar claims when he was granted a stay.
