Kentucky's day at SCOTUS, as the state seeks "Bowling" and "Baze" lethally.

Tomorrow, a pair of Kentucky cases (already discussed here) will be argued at the U. S. Supreme Court concerning the state's method of executing condemned prisoners by lethal injection, which the state supreme court has already upheld.

Read more about the cases -- Ralph Baze received the death sentence for gunning down Powell County Sheriff Steve Bennett and Deputy Arthur Briscoe, and Thomas Clyde Bowling Jr., was convicted of murdering a Lexington couple and wounding their toddler -- excellently covered by the C-J, watch the video of the account of the slayings and interviews with Ralph Baze and the victim's families.

I think Ralph Baze is being delusional if he expects to get out of Edyville (and death row) alive.

And I still say, like I've said before, that the Justices have found something wrong with the lethal injection protocol used in Kentucky and other states (and I predict a minimum 5 to 4 decision from the Justices opposing it) otherwise they would not have taken the cases and halted lethal executions nationwide.

Stay tuned as the oral arguments take place tomorrow and the decision is issued later this summer.
