The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has overturned the temporary restraining order issued by District Judge Robert N. Chatigny on Wednesday. However, the Second Circuit stayed its ruling until 12:01 Sunday morning in order to give Dan Ross, Michael's father, time to appeal its decision to the United States Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court rules before 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning then Ross will be executed on schedule. If it does not rule until sometime during the day on Saturday, then the state will not get its execution until after 12:01 Sunday morning. Based on its earlier rulings in this case, it is doubtful that the Supreme Court will reinvoke the restraining order. However, stranger things have happened.
