I’m on the road this weekend, so just a quick post: A few death penalty stories from the week I didn’t get a chance to share:
- Russia essentially abolished the death penalty last week. (I posted a bit of background here)
- Vietnam’s legislature is considering adding lethal injection as a method of execution to the current firing squad. (Vietnam executed 25 people in 2007)
- Kentucky’s Supreme Court suspended executions in the state Wednesday in another lethal injection case
- Ohio got the ok to begin using its one-drug injection to kill people and a doctor is facing questions over her role in the failed attempt to execute Romell Broom on September 15.
