Execution Postponed For Two Death Row Inmates
The Kentucky Supreme Court has said it wants to hear three issues related to the case of Ralph Baze, who was convicted for the shooting death of Powell County sheriff Steve Bennett and Deputy Arthur Briscoe in 1992. Baze does not deny the crime.
Thomas Clyde Cowling has a pending federal case contesting how entucky determines whether someone is mentally retarded and ineligible for execution. He killed Tina and Eddie Earley outside their dry cleaning business in Lexington in April, 1990.
Attorneys say the executions of Baze and Bowling could be postponed for several months.
