    Stanley Theodore Adams - Ohio Execution - February 19, 2025






    Facts of the Crime:

    On October 11, 1999, Adams murdered 43-year-old Esther Cook and her 12-year-old daughter, Ashley Cook, in their Warren home. Ms. Cook had previously allowed Adams to live with her and Ashley. Adams beat Ms. Cook to death, breaking her nose and ribs and causing severe trauma to her head, neck, chest, and abdomen. Adams raped Ashley, punched her multiple times in the mouth, hit her in the head, and strangled her with an electrical cord. DNA testing proved that the semen, found next to Ashley's nude body, belonged to Adams. By the time of his trial for the Cooks' murders, Adams had been convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life for the August 6, 1999 rape and murder of 40-year-old Roslyn Taylor of Poland Township.

    Adams' federal habeas proceedings are currently being held in abeyance pending a decision by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on whether to uphold a District Court's ruling allowing Adams to pursue a lethal injection claim. Stanley Adams appeal to the 6th Circuit regarding his habeas petition was filed on May 22, 2007. Adams' lethal injection claim has been pending since February 2009.

    Trumbull prosecutors seek death date for killer in Warren murders

    Prosecutors have asked the Ohio Supreme Court to set an execution date for a man convicted in the killing of a Warren woman and the rape and murder of her daughter 18 years ago.

    In a filing with the state's high court Jan. 24, the Trumbull County Prosecutor's Office noted that Stanley Theodore Adams has "exhausted all of his state and federal court reviews of his conviction and death sentence and has not sought a stay Accordingly, the state of Ohio respectfully moves this court for an order and death warrant setting an execution date."

    According to documents, Adams murdered 43-year-old Esther Cook, beaten to death in October 1999. He also beat and raped Cook's 12-year-old daughter, Ashley, and strangled her with an electrical cord. Cook had previously allowed Adams to live in her Warren home.

    The Ohio Supreme Court earlier affirmed Adams' death sentence.

    In a separate case at the time, Adams also was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the rape and murder of 40-year-old Roslyn Taylor of Hubbard Township. According to documents, her "partially clad body was discovered in a fire-damage automobile."

    The state is scheduled to restart executions next month, following a delay of several years as prison officials worked to resolve legal challenges and other issues related to Ohio's lethal injection procedures.

    More than 30 executions are scheduled through early 2021.

    Execution date set for man described as Warren 'serial killer'

    COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Supreme Court has granted a motion by the Trumbull County prosecutor to set a date to carry out the sentence of a man who has been on Ohio's Death Row since 2001.

    The justices issued an order on Friday setting April 16, 2020 as the execution date for Stanley Adams, who was convicted of fatally stabbing a Warren woman, raping and strangling her 12-year-old daughter, and beating, raping and strangling a Hubbard woman.

    In his motion, Prosecutor Dennis Watkins characterized the 50-year-old Adams as a serial killer.

    Adams was sentenced to death for the October 11, 1999, double aggravated murder of Esther Cook and her 12-year-old daughter Ashley Dawn Cook.

    Investigators say Adams beat and fatally stabbed Esther Cook, and raped, beat and strangled her daughter.

    Adams is also serving a 15-year-to-life sentence for beating, raping and strangling Roslyn Taylor of Hubbard on August 4, 1999.

    Taylor's body was found two days later in a partially burned car.

    The Ohio Attorney General's office announced earlier that Adams has exhausted all appeals in both state and federal courts.

    The U.S. Supreme Court denied Adams's petition on January 17.

    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
