Zane Floyd Granted a Stay of Execution

A quadruple killer has been granted a formal stay of execution by a Nevada Judge. Clark County District Court Judge Michael Villani’s written order, followed a June 28 ruling by a federal judge in Las Vegas that stopped the state’s plan to put Zane Michael Floyd to death in late July. Appeals also are pending before the Nevada Supreme Court and 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court document says, “Defendant is entitled to a stay … to allow him to seek appellate review.” Zane Floyd murdered four people inside a Las Vegas grocery store, and is also a convicted rapist. More hearings in the case are set for October in Federal court.
