Frankfort, KY – A split Kentucky Supreme Court yesterday upheld a judge's order halting all executions in the state. The court voted five to two to leave a lower court's order in place that temporarily bars state executions while an appeal by a condemned inmate remains pending. WPSD-TV reports the decision means Kentucky won't be able to carry out an execution, despite recently purchasing enough of a key drug to carry out three lethal injections.
