Halloween killer
granted a stay
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — The 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
has granted Texas’ Halloween
candy killer Ronald Clark
O’Bryan a stay of execution until
Oct. 24 while it considers his
appeal of his death sentence.
The stay makes it impossible
for State District Judge Michael
McSpadden to carry out his
promise to order O’Bryan ex
ecuted on Oct. 31, the riinth
anniversary of O’Bryan’s killing
of his 8-year-old son.
State law requires judges to
set execution dates at least 30
days in advance. McSpadden
cannot set O’Bryan’s execution
until the federal i
pires.
O’Bryan, a former Deer Park
optician, was sentenced to death
for the Oct. 31, 1971, poisoning
of his son, Timothy, 8, with Hal
loween candy. Prosecutors said
O’Bryan gave his son, daughter
and three other children
cyanide-laced candy.
Only his son died. The other
children never ate the candy.
The alleged motive was to collect
life insurance.
court stay ex-
Earlier this month, the 5th
Circuit refused O'Bryan's re-
ouest for a new trial. However,
the court stayed his execution
Wednesday to consider
O’Bryan’s request to reconsider
that decision.
