Hill first asked the court for a stay last week. In one of his appeals, Hill asked for a delay to give him time to contest the chemicals that will be used. Kennedy cited that case in granting the stay.Let me guess....he's allergic to one of them.
To: MNJohnnie
Very unusual. I hope that it is not cruel in extending false hope.

Kennedy would like nothing more than to rule the death penalty "unconstitutional".

Hill's lawyers argue that the three chemicals used in Florida's lethal injection method of execution cause pain, making his execution cruel and unusual punishment. Maybe the liberals could select some doctor-assisted suicide formula that they have deemed humane and constitutional.
To: doug from upland
When talking about laws the media doesn't like the refer to valid clauses as "loopholes". How come they never refer to anything like this as legal trickery? The guy isn't basing his appeal on innocence, just on the idea that it's not fair to execute him.
Frak him. Having a midget beat you to death with a toaster is cruel and unusual. Putting you to sleep and stopping your heart is perfectly on par with the nature of the punishment.

last-minute Supreme Court stay Tuesday night about an hour after he was scheduled to be executed for killing a police officer. What wrong with this picture? This isn't a "last minute reprieve" it's a 60 minute late decision!
If it didn't come down until after the scheduled time, why wasn't it a note back to the court with a "We're sorry, it seems the person you are trying to reach is dead" message?

after all the other last minute death penalty cases they refused to consider, why block this one, why now?
To: oceanview
That's my concern too: what made this one different.
(Other than Kennedy wanting to stop the execution, that is.)

when was the last execution in Florida?

"Having a midget beat you to death with a toaster is cruel and unusual..."
Two questions: Where do they do this? Do they sell tickets to watch?

Maybe the liberals could select some doctor-assisted suicide formula that they have deemed humane and constitutional. Sounds like a good idea maybe George Felos could head a commission down there.

Nowhere. It's cruel and unusual... which is why it's banned.

It wouldn't have to be in the US - I'd get a passport if necessary...

Is he afraid he is allergic to them?

Probably because this is in a state where Kennedy handles such appears. Ones from places like Texas are reviewed by Justice Scalia.
