Earlier this week, 31-year-old Kevin Green’s attorneys asserted the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals erred when it ruled in February that he had passed the statute of limitations for claiming ineffective counsel.
The appeals court denied Green’s request for a stay on Monday.
Green’s attorneys sought the delay yesterday with the nation's highest court.
Green is sentenced to die for the August 1998 slaying of Patricia Vaughan, who operated the store with her husband. Green shot the couple and fled with about $9,000.
