COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY V. HON. PHILLIP J. SHEPHERD
— STAFF
The Commonwealth has failed to demonstrate that it lacks adequate remedy by appeal or that great injustice and irreparable injury will result if a writ is not granted. Moreover, the petition fails to satisfy the requirement of a “special case” exception in the absence of a showing of great injustice and irreparable injury.
Ky. Sup. Ct. · denied
Whether mandamus lies to make a circuit court declare that its longstanding execution injunction does not bar issuing a death warrant.
