AG: Supreme Court can set new execution date after reprieve

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III says nothing is stopping the state Supreme Court from setting a new execution date once the 10-day reprieve expires for death row inmate Edmund Zagorski.
Slatery sent a notice to the high court on Friday. A day before, Gov. Bill Haslam issued a last-minute executive order granting a reprieve until Oct. 21 amid a flurry of legal challenges that had been building in the lead up to Zagorski’s Thursday execution.
