Inmate cancels interview on eve of his execution

FLORIDA CAPITAL BUREAU
Condemned murderer Arthur Rutherford has canceled an interview he'd initially scheduled for today before his Wednesday execution.
Also on Monday, his lawyers filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking it to consider arguments rejected by the Florida Supreme Court last week. Rutherford has another appeal pending before the highest court, asking it to send an earlier appeal - the one that got him a stay of execution back in January - back down to federal district court to be heard.
