Georgia halted the planned Monday execution of the only woman on death row in the state due to problems with the drugs to be used in the lethal injection, officials said.
Texas carried its first execution of 2013 on Thursday in Huntsville, putting Carl Henry Blue to death for setting his then-girlfriend on fire almost 20 years ago. He died by lethal injection. In Georgia, Andrew Allen Cook was executed, convicted of fatally shooting two university students in 1995.
