A federal judge has stayed what would be the nation’s first military execution since 1961, saying the U.S. soldier — who was convicted of rape and murder two decades ago — should have more time to pursue a federal appeal.

Pvt. Ronald Gray has been on the military’s death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, since 1988. A court-martial panel sitting at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, unanimously convicted him of committing two murders and other crimes in the Fayetteville, North Carolina, area and sentenced him to death.
Last month, the Army said Gray was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection December 10 at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana.
