{Frankfort,
Kentucky}…Activists with the Kentucky Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty have
delivered more than 1,500 postcards to Governor Steve Beshear asking that he
sign no more death warrants and that he work to abolish the death penalty. Each
of the cards said three decades of experience shows the death penalty is
"a risky, arbitrary, unfair, ineffective and costly distraction from
justice." Kentucky
has executed three people since the reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976.
