Convicted killer James Filiaggi asked the Ohio Supreme Court to stop his execution scheduled for Tuesday.
Filiaggi, 41, says he needs the delay while a federal judge considers his request, filed Thursday, to join a lawsuit contending lethal injection constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
Injection is unconstitutional because it will in effect cause Filiaggi to be tortured to death, he argues in court documents filed with U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost.
