A Montogmery County Circuit Court judge has denied a stay of execution for convicted-murderer Paul Dennis Reid.
Linda Martiniano, Reid's sister, filed for the stay last week, just days after Circuit Court Judge John Gasaway ruled Reid was ineligible for a mental competency hearing.
In today's written order, Gasaway writes his court "has on authority to grant such a stay," in part because Reid's execution date of June 28 has been set by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
