Kline files brief in support of death penalty
TOPEKA - The state Supreme Court erred when it rejected Kansas' death penalty law as unconstitutional, Attorney General Phill Kline argues in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.
In his brief, Kline basically restated what he has said before -- the Kansas high court was mistaken and the death penalty should be upheld. The brief was filed Monday but wasn't announced by his office until Wednesday.
The Kansas case, which will be heard by the justices on Dec. 7, is among four death penalty cases the nation's highest court will take up in its next term.
