 The ACLU of Kentucky applauds both Governor Quinn and the
Illinois General Assembly in passing a bill banning the death penalty. They now
become the fourth state in the last five years to recognize
that the death penalty is a system too broken and expensive to maintain.
Like Illinois, Kentucky’s
record on the death penalty is error ridden and fatally flawed. Of the 92
inmates sentenced to death in Kentucky, 30 have had their sentences reduced
with one inmate completely exonerated, demonstrating sweeping flaws at the
trial level. Despite these appeals
Gregory Wilson remains on death row, a man with an IQ of only 62 who
represented himself because the attorneys he was assigned were woefully
inadequate.
