.Although the Supreme Court did not specify the span of the stay, Buck's attorney Kate Black asked Gov. Rick Perry for 30 days.
.Buck, 48, was spared from lethal injection on Thursday hours before he was scheduled to be put to death after the nation's highest court said it would review an appeal in his case.
. snip .At the time of sentencing, a psychologist who was called to testify said that blacks were more likely to be repeat offenders.
. snip .Although Buck's guilt has not been questioned, his lawyers argue the jury was unfairly influenced by the psychologist's racially based testimony, causing them to recommend a sentence of capital punishment instead of life in prison.
.The state of Texas has executed 235 inmates since Perry, a Republican presidential candidate and staunch supporter of death penalty, became governor in 2000. On Tuesday, Steven Woods was put to death for his supposed involvement in the slayings of two people in Texas in 2002. Two more Texas prisoners are scheduled to die next week.
