    I think Kell will likely be the next execution in Utah

    It's a good prediction. Utah has like what, 8 death row inmates? Even if he is guessing on sheer probability, that's like a 12.5% chance he is right. Not bad odds at all.

    After what happened in New Zealand, Kell would be a good bet for the next execution. That is if Utah starts executing again.

    Utah White Supremacist Death Row Inmate's Appeal Dismissed

    DENVER — The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed an appeal by Utah death row inmate Troy Kell, declaring it did not have jurisdiction to hear it.

    The federal appeals court did not even weigh in on the central issue of the case — how long it has taken to exhaust Kell’s death penalty appeals — instead ruling on a technical issue. In a split ruling, the appeals court judges essentially said that Kell had not exhausted appeals in state and federal courts and they had no jurisdiction to hear it.

    “Mr. Troy Kell sought habeas relief, but he had not exhausted two of his claims in state court. The unexhausted claims created a Catch-22 for Mr. Kell, risking a dismissal of all of his claims without an opportunity to timely refile. To relieve Mr. Kell of this Catch-22, the district court entered a limited stay, halting proceedings on one of the unexhausted claims while Mr. Kell returned to state court to exhaust the claim,” wrote Judge Robert Bacharach.

    Judge Bobby Ray Baldock dissented, believing the 10th Circuit could hear — and decide — Kell’s case.

    “The Court further ignores salient Supreme Court precedent about the collateral order doctrine and severely understates a state’s important interest in executing its sentence of death without delay— in this case, against Petitioner Troy Kell, who brutally murdered a fellow inmate almost twenty-five years ago. For these reasons, I cannot join the Court’s opinion,” he wrote.

    The 10th Circuit Court was asked to consider how long it has taken to exhaust Kell’s appeals. He is facing death by firing squad for the 1994 murder of inmate Lonnie Blackmon inside the Utah State Prison in Gunnison. Kell stabbed his fellow inmate 67 times while screaming “white power” (the victim was black). The gruesome crime was captured on video.

    Kell was already serving time for another murder in Nevada.

    Kell’s appeals are currently pending in federal court in Salt Lake City and before the Utah Supreme Court.

    I don't understand why these people are allowed to continue to file appeals to lower courts long after they were booted out of the same lower courts.

    Joe Con retaliation executions would result in retaliation attacks, that's what Christ Church was. Kell is an isolated person and should stay that way.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    Utah asks US Supreme Court to consider death penalty case

    The Utah Attorney General’s Office is asking the nation’s top court to hear a case of delays in executing one of its inmates.

    In a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, the state asks the justices to settle an issue of cases with un-exhausted issues.

    “A jury sentenced Respondent Troy Kell to death for a race-motivated murder he committed in prison 25 years ago. His federal habeas petition has been pending for 10 years,” Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes writes in the petition, adding that lower court stays of the case “constitutes an abuse of discretion that irreparably harms—again—Utah’s sovereign interest in the timely execution of its criminal judgments.”

    Kell is facing a firing squad execution for the 1994 murder of Lonnie Blackmon inside the Utah State Prison’s Gunnison facility. The gruesome crime was captured on camera, showing Kell repeatedly stabbing his victim and walking around the cell block screaming “white power,” his arms covered in blood.

    Earlier this year, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed an appeal, saying Kell had not exhausted all his federal and state court processes so they didn’t have jurisdiction to hear it. The court never considered the central issue of the appeal — how long it has taken to exhaust Kell’s death penalty claims.

    Kell has not yet replied. His attorneys filed a motion to allow him to proceed in forma pauperis, which means he’s asking for the filing fees to be waived because he has no money.
