Kansas Death Penalty Faces Supreme Court Ruling
No one has been executed in Kansas since 1994 when the death penalty was reinstated. Six awaiting sentences include John E. Robinson Sr. of Johnson County and brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr of Wichita. The Kansas Supreme Court struck down the law for tying juries in aggravating and mitigating factors and the U. S. Supreme Court will hear the case in December.
