An editorial news brief is presented on the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in "Baze v. Rees," finding capital punishment by lethal injection legal. The author laments the divided opinion, in which Justice John Paul Stevens dissented, reversing his earlier support for the death penalty. He sees further litigation over the issue as a certainty.
