On a 3-3 vote, the Court denied a stay for Napoleon Beazley. He was convicted of killing the father of a federal judge. Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and David Souter recused themselves because of ties to the judge's son, J. Michael Luttig. Luttig sits on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer voted to stop the execution. hief Justice William Rehnquist, and Justices Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor voted against. The Court may decide to review Beazley's case overall. Get the Story:
