(June 25, 2008)—A new execution date was set Wednesday for Texas death row inmate Charles Dean Hood, whose scheduled trip to the Texas death chamber last week was aborted by state prison officials who ran out of time because of lengthy court appeals.
State District Judge John Nelms in Collin County set Hood's new death date for Sept. 10.
Hood waited in a small holding cell just a few steps from the death chamber throughout the evening of June 17.
His death warrant allowed the lethal injection to be administered between 6 p.m. and midnight.
Appeals remained unresolved until after 11 p.m., however, and as midnight neared, Texas Department of Criminal Justice officials determined they didn't have enough time to follow their procedures to carry out the execution by midnight.

How could you not have enough time from 11:00 PM to midnight? especially only a few steps away from the chamber, even in full shackles he could be there in less than 10 minutes, been prepped so he didn't get an infection, administered the IV and then the death vaccine and it would still be only 11:30.
