State court may rule Friday on death penalty
The Kansas Supreme Court, after more than a year of deliberation on its first death penalty challenge since capital punishment resumed seven years ago, may issue a ruling Friday that could affect all capital cases in the state. Defense attorney Tom Bath notes the decision’s potential impact on how factors for and against death are weighed and guidance for cases like John E. Robinson charged with slaying three women in Kansas and Missouri.
