Death Penalty May Be Reinstated
KENTUCKY...
Following a ruling by the Kentucky Supreme Court, the public now has a look at the procedures surrounding implementing the death penalty. Now open for public review is the entire process of executing criminals in the state, including the period leading up to the actual execution. For years those procedures have been considered confidential. Now, the Department of Corrections will review the public input, then, publish the protocol for adminstering the death penalty.
If the general assembly approves it and the governor signs it, then Kentucky's death penalty will be reinstated.
