Public Hearing Set For Lethal Injections
KENTUCKY....
A public hearing is scheduled for Friday in Frankfort to discuss the state's proposed lethal injection protocol...marking the first time Kentucky has allowed public comment on the execution method. The hearing comes one month after the Kentucky Supreme Court ordered all executions halted because the state skipped public hearings on the administrative regulations that make up the protocol. Experts, made up of three attorneys and a doctor, have reviewed the lethal injection procedures and say they are vague and unnecessarily secretive in critical areas, particularly when it comes to the insertion of the intravenous lines that will deliver the deadly drugs.
