WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has rejected appeals from two Texas death row inmates whose executions the court had previously blocked.
In denying appeals Tuesday from former Army recruiter Cleve Foster and Gayland Bradford, the justices cleared the way for the state to schedule new execution dates for the two men.
Last week, the court stopped Foster’s lethal injection hours before he was to die for a rape and killing in Ft. Worth nine years ago. In October, Justice Antonin Scalia granted a reprieve to Bradford who received a death sentence for the shooting death of a Dallas grocery store security guard more than two decades ago.
