Arizona is set Wednesday to execute a prisoner convicted of fatally setting a man on fire over 20 years ago.

A vow by Arizona’s governor not to proceed with any executions amid lingering questions about the rights of death row inmates appears to have paused a scheduled execution next week.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is facing pushback from a victim’s sister and a county prosecutor for her plans to defy a court order to execute a prisoner for his conviction in a 2002 killing.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs says corrections officials won't carry out an execution even though the state Supreme Court scheduled it over the objections of the state’s new attorney general.
