A federal appeals court panel granted a temporary halt to the execution of Bucklew on Tuesday evening citing concerns that he could suffer during lethal injection due to a rare medical condition. The panel's ruling could be overturned by the full appeals court, or by the U.S. Supreme Court. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)
