Kansas Senate committee refines death penalty bill
A Senate Federal and State Affairs panel in Topeka refined a bill to reinstate the death penalty in Kansas while delaying a vote to review the provisions. The measure would allow capital punishment for premeditated murder with aggravating and mitigating factors, including prior murder convictions and emotional disturbance. Changes include requiring proof of related offenses for certain aggravating factors and allowing defendants to choose their own lawyer with court approval. The same jury would handle guilt and penalty determinations.
