While US Supreme Court justices overrode a lower court and allowed a Muslim inmate's execution to go forward in Alabama, they gave a Buddhist Texas inmate, a temporary reprieve
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote"that Murphy made his request to the State in a sufficiently timely manner." Muslim inmate Ray had not asked to be joined by his spiritual adviser in the execution chamber soon enough.
What the justices wrote suggests the opposite results came down to one thing: timing. Ray, a Muslim, didn't ask to be joined by his spiritual adviser soon enough, while Murphy, a Buddhist, did. A federal appeals court halted Ray's execution, but the Supreme Court reversed that decision and let it take place February 7.
They argued that only chaplains who had been extensively vetted by the prison system were allowed in the chamber. While Christian and Muslim chaplains were available, no Buddhist priest was.Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Neil Gorsuch would have allowed Murphy's execution to proceed. Speaking just for himself, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote "that Murphy made his request to the State in a sufficiently timely manner, one month before the scheduled execution." No other justice wrote separately.
