A Texas prisoner who shared an execution date with Timothy McVeigh has also had his punishment delayed. U.S. District Judge Richard Schell issued a reprieve Monday for Allen Bridgers, who was set to die on Wednesday by lethal injection. Bridgers' reprieve, unlike McVeigh's, was not unexpected, because he has yet to exhaust his appeals. McVeigh's lethal injection was postponed last week after the FBI failed to disclose evidence in the Oklahoma Ctiy bombing. McVeigh now is set to die June 11. No new execution date was set for Bridgers. Bridgers was convicted of killing a woman at her home during a cocaine-induced rage in 1997. In an interview earlier this month, Bridgers, 30, said, 'The only thing famous about me is I've got the same date' as McVeigh. 'I don't need no attention,' he said. |
