Breaking News: Florida Supreme Court halts execution

BY THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

The Florida Supreme Court on Tuesday issued an indefinite stay of execution for Cary Michael Lambrix, who had been scheduled to die Feb. 11. The order came hours after the court heard oral arguments that focused on the impact of a U.S. Supreme Court decision earlier this month that struck down the state's death-penalty sentencing system. The News Service will have a full report later Tuesday.
