In Louisiana, state Rep. John Kainkel Jr. of New Orleans called the Supreme Court ruling a total disaster. He had written the law struck down by the court, to replace one that was struck down in 1972. But Hainkd also said he would try to get a new version to the legislature by attaching it to a bill already on the floor. That would evade the s vote for bills initiated requirement of a this late in the session. Another New Orleans legislator, Rep. Louis Charbonnet. reacted differently. He called the ruling "The greatest thing to happen to this state. The death penalty is no deterrent, it is inhumane and unequally appied."

Yates, who is 25, said "with a life sentence you have to do at least 21 years. I might as well be dead. But Eugene Stripling, 23, saw the reprieve as a chance to vindicate himself.
