The Arkansas Supreme Court has granted a temporary stay of execution for death row inmate Rickey Dale Newman. The stay was issued one day after the high court denied a request to halt the condemned killer`s execution scheduled for Tuesday. The court had said Thursday that federal public defenders who made the request lacked standing in the case because Rickey Dale Newman fired them. Newman was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death for the February 2001 stabbing death of Marie Cholette who was found dead in a Crawford County transient camp.
