A judge in the United States has denied a prisoner's bid to delay his execution almost 40 years after murdering an eight-year-old girl.
According to a ruling posted on Sunday, U.S. District Judge Michael Liburdi decided to keep the execution of Frank Atwood scheduled for tomorrow.
The convict argued against the federal judge and said that the state's death penalty procedures would violate his constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment by subjecting him to unimaginable pain.
