Death penalty cases loom as Supreme Court steps in
In Topeka AP reporting, Roger Kemp and Duane Oblander, grieving fathers, welcome U S Supreme Court action to review Kansas death penalty law after its 1994 provision flaws were deemed unconstitutional. They hope outcomes return to the people and elected officials. The ruling raises questions about executions for Gavin D Scott and six other inmates. Oblander notes the case involves Doug Brittain and his wife killed in 1996, while Kemp cites Ali Kemp killed at work in 2002 as a defendant faces trial not set for death by injection.
