Supreme Court to hear lethal injection case in death penalty dispute
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge by Kentucky inmates Ralph Baze and Thomas Bowling Jr. to the constitutionality of lethal injections. The case questions whether the three drug cocktail used nationwide violates the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Baze faces execution, and Bowling was sentenced for the killings of Edward and Tina Earley and the shooting of their son.
