Death-row inmate Charles Rhines has exhausted his direct appeals in court and is scheduled to die sometime in the first week of November.
But his attorneys are still working on a couple of potential legal roadblocks.
Rhines goes to court on Tuesday, Oct. 29, in Sioux Falls to challenge drug protocols.
And an Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals panel says he can still plead for leniency from the governor.
SDPB's Victoria Wicks has this report.
