The U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay of execution for a Texas man on Tuesday, 20 minutes before he was scheduled to face a lethal injection. The inmate has long maintained that DNA testing would help prove he wasn't responsible for the fatal stabbing of an 85-year-old woman during a 1998 home robbery.

The U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay of execution for a Texas man on Tuesday, 20 minutes before he was scheduled to face a lethal injection. The inmate has long maintained that DNA testing would help prove he wasn't responsible for the fatal stabbing of an 85-year-old woman during a 1998 home robbery.
Earlier, Gutierrez’s attorneys had asked the Supreme Court to stop the execution y arguing Texas has denied his right under state law to post-conviction DNA testing that would show he would not have been eligible for the death penalty. In their response to Gutierrez’s Supreme Court petition, the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office said state law does not provide “for postconviction DNA testing to show innocence of the death penalty and, even if it did, Gutierrez would not be entitled to it.”
Authorities said Gutierrez befriended Harrison so he could rob her. Prosecutors said Harrison hid her money underneath a false floor in her bedroom closet.
