This undated photo provided by The Texas Department of Criminal Justice shows Stephen Barbee, a Texas death row inmate. Executions in the nation's busiest capital punishment state are likely to face new delays because of legal questions tied to spiritual advisers and what role they play in the death chamber. The most recent delay was granted Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021, for Barbee. He was set to be executed Tuesday, but U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt in Houston ruled Barbee has initially shown Texas limitations in the execution chamber substantially burden the exercise of his religion.(Texas Department of Criminal Justice via AP)
