....a spate of factors could delay or even prevent his federal execution -- already an extremely rare event...
...faces 13 charges in South Carolina, including nine counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a handgun during the commission of a violent crime...
... state trial, originally scheduled to start next Tuesday, has been delayed indefinitely, CNN affiliate WCSC reported. The apparent reason: to provide more time to prepare the state case following the close of the federal one.
...state will seek death penalty....
...depending on who finishes the appeals process first (state or federal) depends on who put DR to death....
THE INTERESTING PART
...case is unusual because he represented himself for part of his federal trial... complicates his appeals per Dunham....
"Somewhere in the appeals process, someone will probably raise the question of whether it was appropriate to allow him to represent himself," he said.
DR... could kick off his federal appeal by petitioning for a second federal sentencing trial, former South Carolina prosecutor Holman Gossett told CNN affiliate WSPA.
"He didn't have any attorneys helping him in the penalty phase, so he may make that motion after reflecting on it," Gossett said. "Then it would go through the process of automatic hearings with appellate courts to see if there's any reason under the law that it should not stand legal grounds."

DR can avoid DP by...1) being over turned in the courts because of Juror misconduct, improper jury instructions or poor
representation by defense counsel
2) lack of lethal injection drugs .... no place in USA that the drugs are made
Article goes on to talk about drugs in Europe and UK
Article also talks about where DR can be held.....also has a video.
MODS....are tried to remove the big PLUG IN area that is blank but it does not show up on the the screen to make changes....maybe if someone has time they can remove the big area? I am sure it is for the video....Thanks.
