For the families of those killed, it's a long wait that doesn't get easier with time. Donata Nelson has waited 30 years since her son, Scott, was slain after being kidnapped on the way to a high school football game in Louisville.
The man condemned in the slaying, Victor Taylor, has appeals pending.
Meanwhile, a judge has barred the state from carrying out any executions because of a legal challenge to the execution method.
Nelson says the waiting "doesn't seem to ease" her pain and frustration with the pace of the legal system.
