Kansas Death Penalty to be Presented to Supreme Court
Two Lawrence lawyers are preparing to present the case against the state's death penalty to the U.S. Supreme Court.Rebecca Woodman and Janine Cox present the case to the U.S. Supreme Court next month. They work with the Kansas Capital Appellate Defender's Office.
The Supreme Court agreed earlier this year to take the case at the request of Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, who'll appear on behalf of the state. Arguments are scheduled for December seventh.
No one has been executed since the death penalty was reinstated in Kansas in 1994. But six people are on death-row in Kansas.
The state Supreme Court struck down the state's death penalty law last year because of how it said juries should consider the evidence for imposing a death sentence.
