Friday afternoon around the blogosphere

Lots of thoughtful goodies to be mined from a last Friday afternoon tour around the blogosphere:

• Crime & Consequences comments here about the briefs in Panetti v. Quarterman, which C&C described as "the 'too crazy to execute' case" to be heard by SCOTUS next month.

• Corrections Sentencing talks up here "A New Direction for Sentencing Commissions"

• Grits for Breakfast links here to an interesting article about a Texas lawsuit attacking parole procedured.

• ODPI reports here on a court ruling to allow direct questioning of Kentucky execution team members regarding their experience and qualifications.
