Welcome to

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a Kentucky death penalty case that could help determine how Florida lethally injects convicted killers.� Kentucky inmates are challenging the three-drug cocktail that Florida and other states use.� Killers are given a strong dose of painkiller, then a paralyzing drug, and finally, a drug that stops their heart.� Death penalty opponents are hopeful the Supreme Court will rule that the current lethal injection protocol is cruel and inhumane.

�We have a procedure that doesn�t work,” said Larry Spalding of the ACLU.� “It�s incredibly expensive.� We now have life imprisonment without eligibility for parole.� And that, I think most citizens across the country are coming to the conclusion is the punishment that we should have for the worst of the worst.�

Last year was the first year in two decades where Florida did not execute someone on death row.
