Carlin vetoes bill for death penalty
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Gov. John Carlin
yesterday issued his fourth veto of
death penalty legislation since
1979.
In a two-page veto message, Carlin reiterated his arguments against capital punishment.
"When all is said and done, capital punishment serves those seeking revenge, not retribution," the message said. "The exchange of one life for another is not retribution."
Carlin said the death penalty failed to meet three standards necessary for punishment in a crime of murder, infraction, punishment and deterrence.
The veto message said the death penalty could not be applied fairly, nor with a guarantee that mistakes would not be made, causing execution of the wrong person. But the lack of support from states with the death penalty did not support the view that it deterred murder.
LEGISLATIVE LEADERS say there is not enough support in the House and Senate to raise two-
thirds majorities to override the veto.
When he ran for his first term as governor, Carlin pledged to sign a death penalty bill if it crossed his desk. However, after his election, when he was faced with such a bill in 1979, he said he could not go through with it and veted the measure.
He vetoed subsequent bills in 1980 and 1981.
The House this year passed a death penalty bill sponsored by Rep. Clyde Graeber, R-Leavenworth. Although Carlin's vet has been assured from the beginning, he has not indicated they wished to go on record in favor of the controversial issue.
THE SENATE followed suit, passing the bill after its major Senate supporter. Sen. Edward Patterson pledged it would not be brought up again until Carlin leaves office after the 1966 election.
Carlin's veto message made reference to his previous vetoes and the possibility he was going against public opinion.
Court stiffens lawyer standards
By United Press International
TOPEKA — The state Supreme Court announced yesterday that beginning this year, Kansas lawyers who fail to complete approved continuing legal education courses may lose loss of their licenses to practice law.
Chief Justice Alfred Schroeder told a news conference the high court had appointed a seven-member commission to enforce the continuing legal rule on the state's laws, he said the Continuing Legal Education Commission, which is composed of a
judge, four lawyers and two representatives from the state's two public law schools, is still in the process of formulating the new rules.
Starting in July, lawyers will be required to file annual reports to the commission outlining the legal education courses they completed in the previous year. Lawyers must complete 36 hours of approved courses over a three-year period – with no less than 10 hours taken in a single year – or face suspension from practicing law by the court.
Justice Harold Herd, the high court Justice to the commission,
the suit with Supreme Court
institute the continuing education requirements, but did so at the insistence of the Kansas Bar Association.
Herd said although most of the lawyers in the state already took additional legal education courses, the new rules were necessary to ensure that the inmates that did not attempt to update their legal education.
Herd said the funding for the enforcement of the new education requirements will come entirely from the state's arts commission, not from tax dollars.
Inmates fast to protest treatment
LANSING - Thirty-two Kansas State Penitentiary inmates confined to special disciplinary cells said yesterday they would not eat until they were transferred to the general prison population.
Inmates are placed in the special security building, commonly referred to as "the jail," because they are not permitted to conform to prison regulations.
"I imagine it will keep on going down," said Jerry Judy, assistant to prison Director Herb Maschner.
The hunger strike began Wednesday when 28 inmates in the prison's Adjustment and Treatment Building refused to eat breakfast. The number of hunger strikers grew to 37 by dinner time Wednesday but had dropped to 32 by lunch time yesterday, prison officials said.
"All of these people are a danger to other inmates, to the staff and some to themselves." Judy said. "They are all extreme risks."
Judy said prison officials do not intend to give in to the inmates' demands for a transfer. However, he has received complaints inside their cells would be addressed.
Judy said prison officials planned to take a wait-andsee approach. He also said no inmate would be allowed to die of malnutrition.
"It's not a very pleasant atmosphere," Judy said to the "jail," which is located in the center of the prison compound. "You can understand them wanting to get out of the jail and to leave themselves selves in there. They are in there for disciplinary problems and administrative segregation."
"If it comes to the point of protecting their lives, we would have to feed them intravenously," he said.
