Here's another article on how June's ruling by the New York Court of Appeals has (apparently) confused the heck out of the criminal justice system in New York. I didn't think it was that hard. The Court said the law as it was was unconstitutional....so...there is no death penalty in New York until if and when (please God no) the state legislature brings it back with a "solution" to the problem. Those who are indicted for a crime committed during this time cannot be held liable with their lives. That would be an ex post facto application of a law and would violate the United States Constitution.
