The governor of Arizona on March 3 said an execution of a convicted murderer will not take place, despite an order from the state’s highest court.

“Under my Administration, an execution will not occur until the people of Arizona can have confidence that the State is not violating the law in carrying out the gravest of penalties,” Arizona Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs said in a statement to news outlets.
