However, this execution was again postponed by a new stay of execution, granted due to an appeal filed the night before Kho`s execution. The appeal was rejected the next morning, as the court ruled that the defense was merely rehashing their old arguments, which the court saw as an abuse of the court, leading the judges to sharply and critically reprimand Kho`s lawyers for their conduct.
