Asked to declare Florida's process for lethal injections unconstitutional on behalf of 71 death-row inmates, the Florida Supreme Court instead ordered a trial court to review the claims for just one prisoner.
Death-penalty lawyers said the ruling is destined to create chaos."It will be a mess," said Martin McClain, a Miami lawyer who handles death-penalty appeals. "We have an order that is as ambiguous as can be. It resolves nothing other than we're going to have one hearing for one individual. Everybody else is in limbo."
