Deborah Denno comments in the Kansas City Star about possible changes to the execution method in Missouri, where law authorizes death by either lethal injection or the gas chamber, although Missouri no longer has a functioning gas chamber.
Deborah Denno, a professor at Fordham University Law School who has studied Missouri’s statute, agreed that it is vague. “Given that the statute is unclear, they should either have a gas chamber or the legislature should change the law,” Denno said.
The entire story originally appeared in the Kansas City Star.
