In Kansas, our Supreme Court, in a fit of petulance, negated the death sentences of the Carr brothers. Look up what they did and, if you’re a Kansan, let your reps know what you think of reforming our judicial selection scam.
I was born, raised and educated in Kansas. I remember one year there was a total of 8 executions in the US. Kansas nailed 5 of them. Hickok and Smith (of “In Cold Blood” fame) that killed the Clutter family, York and Latham that went on a cross-country killing spree, and the KU student that went home one week-end and killed his family.
York and Latham killed several people but made the mistake of killing one in Kansas. They were tried and convicted in Kansas because Kansas was the best prospect for execution.
