Justice Stevens contrasts lethal injection methods
Speaking to the Sixth Circuit Judicial Conference on Friday, Justice John Paul Stevens said that the method of euthanizing racehorse Eight Belles was probably more humane than the lethal injection method used on death row in Kentucky. Even though he voted to uphold the lethal injection method in a challenge last month, he raised concerns about the constitutionality of the death penalty.
