Abstract:
As the state Supreme Court is hearing arguments on death penalty legislation, an opportunity has arrived for the new governor and legislature to review the law. Governor Perdue supports the current moratorium on capital punishment and juries have sent fewer criminals to death row over the past two years. The current issue over the law is whether a doctor needs to be present during the execution.
