    John what do you expect, I really believe that's the intent from our Ohio Supreme Court. We have 2 now that want to do away with the DP. I'm just disgusted with the entire system here...

    That's why I want to change the statue so the common pleas judge sets the date instead of the OSC and change the clemency process so the governor can't overrule an unfavourable recomendation. It seems that is their intent is to get rid of the DP. I bet the bill would pass if we could actually get someone to introduce it.

    The reason that the 30-day separation rule was introduced by the Ohio Supreme Court is that there are only a small number of public defenders in Ohio representing death row inmates. After the executions of John Fautenberry (14 July 2009) and Marvallous Keene (21 July 2009) there were complaints that these public defenders did not have the time to properly represent inmates with execution dates so close together, and so the 30-day limit was born. It seems to have become a little too entrenched along the way, as the Court will not schedule executions closer together even where the two inmates are represented by totally different sets of attorneys. As Moh points out, it also seems to have morphed into a 60-day rule - I don't know precisely when.

    Really?? I never knew that, I'm surprised Keene was an issue because no last minute appeals were made to save his life and he chose not to participate in the clemency process. This seems to have started in June 2011 when Wiles and Awkal had their execution dates set two months apart leading up to Eley and Palmer. But if that's the reason why they're setting them two months apart, simply don't set execution dates of two inmates who are represented by the same attorneys back to back. If by coincidence the only three inmates who are out of appeals have the same attorneys then go ahead and make it two months for once. But continuously doing two month gaps is simply wasting money and time. I liked the thirty interval however, it was a nice steady pace and think that is plenty of time to prepare an inmates case before the parole board, sixty is pushing it.

    I'm sure it was Fautenberry and Keene. Perhaps my memory is failing me.

    I agree that the 60-day rule is too long, especially when it is applied as an absolute prohibition and even where the inmates concerned have different attorneys or where an inmate does not wish to file any appeals or seek clemency.
