Bush issues 0llrtlA*'K
reprieve for
convicted
murderer
By MICHAEL GRACZYK
. The Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE — Gov. George
W. Bush, campaigning for president
as a compassionate conservative',
; blocked Thursday evening’s sched-
uled execution of a convicted killer
by approving his first reprieve in a
Texas death penalty case.
Bush said he issued a 30-day
reprieve for Ricky McGinn so that
potential DNA •
evidence that STATE
might exonerate ———-—
him could be reviewed, although the
US, Supreme Court had earlier
denied McGinn’s appeals.
vAny time DNA evidence used in
this context can betfelevant as to the
guilt or innocence of a person on
death row we need to use it,” Bush
told reporters in Sacramento during a
hastily arranged news conference.
“I expect the courts and allpar-
ties to act expeditiously to review the
evidence and finally determine guilt
as to the chaige of rape in this case,”
added the governor, who took no
questions. < \
The reprieve came less than a half-
hour before the convicted murderer
was set to die for killing his 12-year-
old stepdaughter seven years ago.
Bush, who has been trying to
appeal to moderate voters, has
allowed 131 lethal injections over his
5'/i years as governor of the nation’s
busiest execution state.
McGinn arid his attorneys want
."additional DNA testing, which they
: say will exonerate him. Although
DNA evidence was used by prosecu-
tors to help convict McGinn of the
May 1993 rape and ax slaying of
Stephanie Flanary, his lawyers con-
tend more sophisticated testing now ’
-1 exists to aid his cificU . . .
