Kansas Courts Reject Death Penalty

      In a move to protect the life of the living and not put the power of god in the hand of man, Kansas has reversed the death penalty.

Kansas is one of 38 states with the death penalty, though it has not executed anyone since capital punishment was restored in the United States in 1976.

The state court ruled 4-3 that the Kansas law violates the U.S. Constitution because it requires juries to opt for the death penalty if the evidence for and against the defendant is otherwise equal.
