A court has rejected the latest legal challenge by death row inmate Edmund Zagorski to his scheduled Nov. 1 execution, finding “this late-hour appeal to be meritless.”

Zagorski’s execution by electrocution is set to proceed following the decision taken by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals late Wednesday, Oct. 31, the Tennessean reported.
