USA - Kansas. Senate Judiciary Committee approves SB 257 to limit the appeals process in death penalty cases

The Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee voted today to move forward SB 257, which limits the appeals process in death penalty cases. During this process, SB 257 was “grafted” onto an available House bill and it is now referred to as HB 2389. The action today sends the measure, along with several other judicial bills, to the full Senate for debate in the coming weeks.
