]]> Comment on House Speaker Greg Stumbo embarrases self, Kentucky with suggestion to reinstate the electric chair by Pat http://kcadp.org/2012/02/15/house-speaker-greg-stumbo-embarrases-self-kentucky-with-suggestion-to-reinstate-the-electric-chair/comment-page-1/#comment-1324 Pat Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:53:06 +0000 http://kcadp.org/?p=2499#comment-1324 Speaker Stumbo clearly misunderstands the law related to lethal injection. He says it was not retroactive, meaning, I suppose, that those already on the row did not have access to lethal injection. It was the opposite. Lethal injection was available to all on the row and, in addition, electrocution was an option for those there before lethal injection became available. Why? To prevent exactly what he worries about, additional appeals. And it succeeded. He is blowing smoke and possibly thinking of the next campaign: a run for Governor.

]]> Comment on National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty’s posts details about 2010 Annual Conference by Lucas http://kcadp.org/2009/10/08/national-coalition-to-abolish-the-death-penalty%e2%80%99s-posts-details-about-2010-annual-conference/comment-page-1/#comment-1318 Lucas Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:59:08 +0000 http://kcadp.org/?p=603#comment-1318 I hope that popele eventually look beyond their visceral reactions to this case, and think about how the case actually supports the abolition of the death penalty. First, it is making celebrities out of the murderers, just as Michael Ross’s execution did. Everyone knows who Michael Ross is, but I’ve never met anyone who can tell me the name of one of his victims. Thanks to this death penalty trial — which could have been avoided had they been sentenced to life in Northern without the possibility of release in return for guilty pleas they are willing to enter — we get reminded of these beasts on a daily basis, as well as being subjected to evidence that is horrifying. The jurors in this case are being scarred for life, and for what? A death sentence that will take decades to carry out?Second, this state spends $4 million a year (conservatively) to maintain the death penalty. We could use that money to help victims (for example, set up a college fund for the children of murder victims) and law enforcement.Finally, on a psychological and moral level, the horror of these murders and our feelings about them should give us pause. Do we really want to emulate these animals (sorry for the insult to animals)? By seeking their deaths, we are stooping to their level. That’s not what I want my society to be.
