Then, there was a knock on the door. DOC Director Robert Patton took a phone call in the hallway. When he returned, he said they'd had a "vein failure." "The chemicals did not enter into the offender," and under Patton's authority, he announced a stay for the execution of Charles Warner.
Warner was set to die at 8 p.m. His execution is stayed for 14 days.
