Supreme Court to review Oklahoma execution procedure
Lawrence Hurley:
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review Oklahoma’s controversial method of execution by lethal injection, taking up a case brought by three death row inmates who accuse the state of violating the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
The high court just last week allowed the execution of a convicted killer in Oklahoma over the objection of its four liberal members.
