the\u00a0Florida Supreme Court\u00a0on Monday denied the state\u2019s request to lift the stay, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>James Duckett, a former Mascotte police officer accused of preying on 11-year-old Teresa McAbee in 1987, was scheduled for execution on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The motion comes after\u00a0DNA testing\u00a0of biological material from the victim\u2019s underwear, which the defense argued could prove Duckett\u2019s innocence, came back inconclusive Friday, court documents stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because the results failed to exonerate Duckett, Florida\u2019s attorney general swiftly moved to lift the stay, urging the state Supreme Court to allow the execution to proceed as scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>The high court, however, denied the request on Monday, with six of seven justices opting to keep the execution on hold while giving the lower court time to review \u201csuccessive claims\u201d tied to the DNA evidence and requiring status updates on any outstanding issues by Thursday, April 2.<\/p>\n<p>The case against Duckett \u2014 who has spent nearly 40 years on Florida\u2019s death row \u2014 has drawn intense scrutiny due to his former role as a police officer and his longstanding claims of innocence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image in a
