Kentucky changing the way prisoners executed

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Kentucky will change the way it executes prisoners.

That's after a judge ordered the state to rethink the current injection process that involves three drugs.

The Kentucky Justice Cabinet filed notice today in Franklin Circuit Court that it would propose new regulations by July 24th.

The move could open the door to a switch to a single-drug execution.
