Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "We are hopeful that the district court's well-reasoned opinions on the need for a published policy that protects the religious rights of Mr. Barbee and other inmates facing execution will be upheld," Barbee's attorney Richard Ellis told Newsweek on Wednesday.
35% : Barbee's attorneys have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his execution, arguing that his religious rights are being violated because the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has yet to create a written policy following a high court ruling earlier this year.
