May 28, 2008 Just another day on Death RowPosted: 03:31 PM ET
NEW YORK–Yesterday, the state of Virginia executed a man who was convicted of killing a convenience store owner. And it was the first execution in that state in nearly two years. The man, Kevin Green, was convicted of the murder in 1998. Nothing really remarkable about his case, except that his execution was the third since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of lethal injection in April. The court said that the three drug cocktail (which even veterinarians won't use on animals) is not cruel and unusual punishment. And just yesterday, they refused to hear an appeal in Mr. Green's case. Well, maybe lethal injection is constitutional. But Mr. Green was also mentally disabled. And executing someone who is, is not constitutional either. And that is the Last Word. –Jami Floyd, In Session anchor Filed under: Uncategorized |
