Like I'm laughing at your lack of knowledge about the KY death penalty? :thatsfunn:thatsfunn

You act as if Kentucky is frying and 'putting to sleep' convicted murderers by the dozen. When in fact, the death penalty in Kentucky is almost non existant. :letsparty

Here are some facts for you, for future reference.

--Kentucky doesn't allow so called 'felony murder' convictions to end in the DP.

--Kentucky also requires aggrivated circumstances for any Death Penalty. Meaning that rarely is it applied.

--Only 3 executions have taken place since the Supreme Court re-authorized them to be carried out.

--Thats 3 executions in 35 years!

--The method options have dwindled down to just 1. Lethal Injection. (electrocution is available for pre-1998 convictions.).

--Only 39 have been handed the sentence, with 1 being exonerated (perhaps 2?).

--2 have been granted clemency by the governor.

--A bill was introduced September 17th of this year to ban the DP, and is currently being considered in the state legislature.

--The Kentucky Judiciary Committee heard testimony just this August, that the state has spent 100,000,000 dollars to execute 3 people in 35 years.

Awesome. A death penalty that doesn't put people to death.. that has saw 3 people convicted, sentenced, and not recieve it because of innocence or other circumstances. And has cost more than 100 million dollars of our hard earned money. :Clap:

LOL. Do a survey of Kentucky people and see how many you get for and against the death penalty. I wasn't talking about our laws concerning the KY death penalty, you are typing on a forum of regular people, not lawmakers.
