US supreme court calls a halt to executions
Judges to consider legality of lethal injection
Moratorium after inmate wins last-minute reprieve
Could this see the death of the death penalty in the US? Or will the State Murderers invent another "humane" method of dispatching convicted killers?
The Independent claims "Death row reprieve has national backlash" however, the article only refers to a relative of a victim taking exception which hardly constitutes a national backlash.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

I hope this is the end of the death penalty, or at least, the beginning of the end.
