OLYMPIA—The Washington State Supreme Court this afternoon granted a stay in the March 13 scheduled execution of convicted murderer Cal Coburn Brown, pending the outcome of the consolidated case in Thurston County Superior Court, Darold R.J. Stenson v. Eldon Vail, et al. which is scheduled for May 2009.
“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Holly Washa," said Attorney General Rob McKenna. "This ruling merely delays the execution of Cal Coburn Brown. We believe the trial court will rule the state’s lethal injection protocol is constitutional.”
OLYMPIA—Convicted murderer Cal Coburn Brown has filed a motion for discretionary review with the Washington State Supreme Court seeking to prevent his scheduled execution on the morning of March 13.
The Attorney General’s Office will file its response this evening. It is anticipated the Supreme Court will issue its ruling tomorrow.

Washington, D.C.—A depressed job market, the growing number of Americans without health insurance, ballooning college costs, the increased availability of gambling, and the growing use of credit for routine purchases are helping push credit card balances to the breaking point.
