Executions Resume In US After Supreme Court Lethal Injection Ruling

The US supreme court yesterday cleared the way for executions to resume when it ruled that the lethal injection procedure used in Kentucky does not violate the American constitution's ban on "cruel and unusual punishment".

The 7-2 ruling means that an informal moratorium on executions in place since the court agreed to hear the case last September can now be lifted. Virginia's governor, Tim Kaine, wasted little time, immediately giving the go-ahead for executions in to resume in his state.
