A week before he was scheduled to be put to death, a court has put Cantu's execution on hold while new developments are considered, including recanted testimony and questions about evidence at his 2001 trial.
The execution date for Ivan Cantu, who in 2001 was convicted of capital murder, has been withdrawn by a Collin County judge, according to court documents.
Two jurors from Cantu’s 2001 double-murder trial now support his appeals, which claim prosecutors relied on false testimony and withheld crucial evidence.
