STARKE, Fla. — Serial killer Ted Bundy got an indefinite stay of execution today less than 16 hours before he was to be executed for the 1978 slaying of two Florida State University sorority sisters.
Bundy got the stay from a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He had been scheduled to die Thursday morning along with mass murderer Gerald Eugene Stano in the nation’s first double execution since capital punishment was reinstated. But Stano’s lawyers also got an indefinite stay today from the Florida Supreme Court.
