JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court halted the execution of convicted child killer Mark Dean Schwab on Thursday, hours before he was scheduled to die.

Mark Dean Schwab is on death row for the murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez.
The move by the high court was widely expected as it considers the appeals of two Kentucky inmates challenging the same lethal toxic three-drug combination used in Florida.
Schwab was sentenced to death for the murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez.
In March 1991, the month Schwab was released from prison on a sexual assault sentence, a newspaper published a picture of Junny for winning a kite contest. Schwab gained the confidence of Junny's family, claiming he was with the newspaper and was writing an article on the boy.
On April 18, Schwab called Junny's school and pretended to be Junny's father and asked that the boy meet him after school. Two days later, Schwab called his aunt in Ohio and claimed that someone named Donald had made him kidnap and rape the boy.
He was later arrested and told police where he left Junny's body -- in a footlocker in a rural part of Brevard County.
Schwab's execution was to be the first in Florida since the botched execution of Angel Diaz on December 13. It took 34 minutes for Diaz to die -- twice as long as normal -- because the guards pushed the needles through his veins.

What a bunch of fucking pussies. Oh no! A convicted Child Killer is going to be in pain from a shot before they knock him out! I mean, seriously, if it was up to me, I would bring back Chinese Bamboo Torture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Bamboo_Torture) to use in executions. Seriously, if they fucking deserve the Death Penalty, they can handle a little bit of pain. :newburn:
