Ross Execution Cancelled!

If all the back and forth about this execution in Connecticut does not show us that the capital pinishment system is flawed, I don't know what will.

The Hartford Courant reported today that the state Supreme Court today issued a stay of execution for serial killer Michael Ross, who agreed to stop his lethal injection and have his mental competency examined:

Based on advice from both the chief state's attorney and the attorney general that a legal impediment does now exist prohibiting the administration of capital punishment in the case of Michael Ross, the Department of Correction has canceled tonight's scheduled execution," said Brian Garnett, spokesman for the department.
