Woman sentenced to death by stoning likely to be spared from execution:
The head of Iran's human rights council predicted that a woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery will likely be spared from execution.
An Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery confessed to helping a man kill her husband and re-enacted the alleged crime in an interview broadcast Friday by Iranian state television -- an apparent effort by the government to deflect international criticism over the case.
