Alabama death row inmate Robert Lee Tarver had just eaten what he thought was his last meal when the Supreme Court granted a stay of his execution. Tarver is not the only condemned killer recently granted a last-minute reprieve from the high court. Surprising as it may seem coming from a conservative Supreme Court, stays of execution are becoming more common. Since July, the Court has stopped six executions -- a substantial increase over two years ago, when it granted only two stays the entire term.
