Sending prayers to the victim's families that will be impacted by this!! It's an election year, vote those judges out of office. If they appear at an election ralley, Get Loud, let them know how you feel.

How about the guy Mr. Huckabee pardoned?! He found god and went a killed Police Officers!

As a registered voter in Lonoke County Precinct 3. I Want the names of the Judges Printed in BOLD TYPE in News Papers and Fox 16 and Todays THV for everyone to see!

Vigilante justice will prevail if something doesnt change. The People (us taxpayers) are beyond fed up with the criminals and the lack of proper punishment and the number of repeat offenders. All I can say is protect you and yours as if your life depended on it because you will never get closure and justice from the judicial system. It is not beyond repair, its just that everyone is afraid of offending the so called rights of the criminals. Well, I for one am not afraid if I piss a criminal off and I am not afraid of anyone bringing me into a violation of rights lawsuit. I'll do like everyone else, ride the mentally ill train until the wheels fall off of it.

The state Constitution does not say anything about the legislature setting the execution DATE. We're talking about policy here, not when the execution actually happens. The issue is whether or not the Legislature can set down broad guidelines and leave the fine strokes up to the Executive branch. My issue is that these judges have a history of stonewalling, reversing and putting up road blocks every step of the way in preventing this state from carrying out any capital punishment. It's not about the law; they don't like the politics of it.

Clean the dust and cobwebs off the chair and start frying the ones on death row. Seems like they have all the power and the families of those who were murdered will never get any closure. Way to go half assed judges.

In a way, you cant blame the judge 100%. It starts with the people that MAKE the laws. It is up to them to create laws that can be enforced and upheld without some schister lawyer picking it apart to find loop holes. These days, it isnt the job of the defense lawyer to prove their clients' innocent, its their job to find a loop hole to get a guilty person acquitted. We have to many non-qualified people making and writing rules, and we have way to many prosecutors giving up plea deals for a guilty plea. The whole system needs a major overhaul.

el perra, don't you have a date with ICE? Crawl back in you hole and hide. You must be worried about your kind on death row.

elperro feroz, the issue is this, as stated in the article "most notably the chemicals to be used, for a state execution,"

Do none of you believe in The Constitution of the State of Arkansas~~ The only thing that was at issue here is the fact that The Arkansas Constitution states an execution date must be set by the Legislature. Did none of you even read the article?
