Appeals court allows Zuern execution

The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the execution of William Zuern to go forward, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Attorney General's Office said Friday.

Zuern, 45, convicted of murder in the 1984 stabbing death of a Hamilton County jailer, is to die by lethal injection at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Walter Rice in Dayton temporarily delayed Zuern's execution. Late Friday, a three-judge 6th Circuit panel vacated that stay.
