US-JUSTICE-EXECUTION-FILES
(FILES)This booking photo courtesy of the Georgia Department of Corrections shows inmate Warren Hill. The execution of a US inmate diagnosed as "mentally retarded," delayed pending a last-minute appeal, will now take place on Friday, officials in the US state of Georgia said. Authorities said death row inmate Warren Hill will be put to death by lethal injection July 19, 2013 at 7 pm (2300 GMT) at a prison in Jackson, Georgia. They made the announcement in a statement issued Tuesday. Hill's execution was postponed Monday, just hours before it was set to take place. Hill's attorneys said the stay of execution was related to a defense complaint over what it calls the "extreme secrecy" surrounding the execution. Hill, 52, was already serving life in prison for the murder of his girlfriend when he fatally bludgeoned a fellow prisoner in 1990. He was subsequently sentenced to death.
