Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Attorneys for the state are ready to argue over lethal injections, and if they should be allowed to go forward.

A judge will hear arguments regarding the matter in Frankfort today.

In 2010, the same judge halted executions after concerns about the three drug method used for lethal injections. Earlier this year, the state switched to using a single drug for lethal injections.
