Lethal Injection Protocol Challenged
KENTUCKY...
A state judge is weighing a challenge to Kentucky's lethal injection protocol as attorneys expect death warrants to be signed in the near future. Franklin County Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd said Wednesday a decision should come soon about whether three death row inmates have properly challenged the state's new execution protocol and possibly on the merits of their attack.
