• Lawyer Seeks to Change Method of Ky. Executions

LOUISVILLE, Ky. N On the heels of two states switching to a single-drug execution method, a defense attorney for multiple Kentucky death row inmates wants a judge to consider if the stateOs three-drug protocol is unconstitutional. Defense attorney David Barron said OhioOs successful use of one dose of sodium thiopental to execute inmates is proof that there are safer, quicker and less painful methods of carrying out a death sentence.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Federation of St Christopher and Nevis, the meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Prerogative of Mercy was convened and advised the carrying out of the sentence of the aforementioned Court made on the 30th March 2006, Douglas said. "... We have to be certain that there is a deterrent among our people in taking another man's life.

• Maryland Death Row Inmate Wins Temporary Stay of Execution

Death row inmate Vernon Evans has convinced the Court of Appeals that Maryland's protocol for carrying out the death sentence was adopted in violation of the state's Administrative Procedure Act. While the court denied Evans' request to be retried or re- sentenced, it banned the state from using its "Lethal Injection Checklist" until the protocol is either brought into line with the APA or exempted by the General Assembly.

• Mourn 10 Murdered Ii

It is troubling that some news outlets refer to the deaths of 10 noble, brave medical aid workers in Afghanistan as "executions." The definition of "execute" is "to put a criminal to death by carrying out a lawful sentence." These heroes were criminals only by definition of the Taliban lunatic fringe, which has taken responsibility for the killings. We should consider these individuals "murdered" or "slaughtered," not "executed.

• End Firing Squad Executions

Utah needs to do away with the firing squad as a means of execution. When the Utah Legislature convenes later this month, it needs to act quickly to establish lethal injection as the state's only method of execution. This would be consistent with most other states and give the state a more dignified means of carrying out the death sentence. As it stands, Utah's death-row inmates are given a choice between lethal injection and the firing squad. Some condemned killers opt for the firing squad because they perceive that such an execution enables them to go out in a blaze of glory. Others choose this option because they want to render their executions as difficult as possible for the state.

• Deadly Discourses: Examining the Roles of Language and Silence in the Lynching of Emmett Till and Wright's Native Son

Baldwin's portrayal of Jesse tying his role in the lynching to his own sexual performance is hardly unique or out of place with the symbolic value traditionally placed on the castration and lynching of black men, particularly those accused of transgressions involving white women. [...] from clay, the protagonist of LeRoi Jones's controversial play Dutchman, to Gus in The Birth of a Nation to the thousands of victims recorded by the Tuskegee Institute, the early to mid-twentieth century found itself replete with both literary and historical examples of black men whose social encounters with white women ended violently.
