A man scheduled to die for a murder in southwest Indiana some 11 years ago has that execution put off
Roy Lee Ward was scheduled to die by lethal injection next Tuesday in Michigan City - but a federal judge put off the execution some 90 days, giving time for the conviction to be reviewed on the federal level.
Ward was sentenced to die for the 2001 death of Stacy Payne, the 15 year old Dale girl who police say Ward stabbed and sexually assaulted.
