The US Supreme Court has delayed next week's scheduled execution of a Dallas man convicted of killing an 82-year-old woman at her home 11 years ago. 32-year-old Mark Allen Robertson was set for lethal injection Tuesday for the shooting of Edna Brau. She was shot in the head as she watched television at her north Dallas home one August night in 1989. Justice Antonin Scalia issued the reprieve Thursday. Robertson's attorneys are appealing whether a trial judge improperly instructed jurors before they deliberated the death sentence. Brau was one of three people he was accused of murdering. Sean Hill, her 19-year-old grandson and a friend of Robertson's, who was killed the same night in August 1989. Hill was shot in the head as he and Robertson fished along a creek behind her home. Robertson also was accused of killing a convenience store clerk in Dallas eleven days earlier. |
