Kentucky Death Row Inmate Loses Another Challenge
KENTUCKY....
The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati on Friday ruled that Kentucky death row inmate 53 year old Gregory Lee Wilson challenged the the state’s lethal injection method too late when he filed suit in December 2008. Wilson challenged the use of sedatives given to an inmate before an execution, saying they interfered with the deadly three-drug cocktail. The ruling comes as Wilson moves toward a September 16th execution after a jury sentenced him to death in 1988 for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Deborah Pooley.
