The first person to be put to death in Pennsylvania in more than 13 years is scheduled to die this week. But his attorneys and a separate lawsuit could stop his death.
Hubert Michael's execution is set for Thursday. He pleaded guilty to killing 16-year-old Trista Eng in July of 1993.
Eng was walking to work when Michael picked her up. He drove her to a remote area and shot her three times.
Michael's Attorneys want to reopen his case, saying he has serious mental health issues.
In a hearing Monday, an expert anesthesiologist testified she had concerns on how the death penalty is done.
She questioned training and experience of the lethal injection team, claiming confusing codes on the drugs could cause excruciating pain for inmates if administered incorrectly.
