Inmates Seeking To Waive Appeals
KENTUCKY...
Two Kentucky death row inmates are seeking to end their appeals and potentially hasten their own executions as the state pushes toward enacting a new lethal injection protocol. The inmates, Shawn William Windsor and James Hunt, are both pursuing lawsuits against their public defenders in Franklin Circuit Court in an effort to fire the attorneys and waive their remaining appeals. The Kentucky Supreme Court is reviewing the criminal cases of both men, with rulings in their cases possible later this month.
