Kenneth Eugene Smith was set to be executed on 17 November 2022. However, he wasn't executed due to time constraints caused by a late-night court battle. Smith was initially scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. for his role in the 1988 killing of Elizabeth Sennett. However, the Court of Appeals granted him a stay of execution just hours before his death warrant was set to expire at midnight.
In Contrast to that, the state then filed an emergency appeal in the US Supreme Court, which returned its decision vacating the lower court's decision and making a path for the execution within less than two hours before Smith's death warrant expired.
