    Douglas Lamont Coley - Ohio Execution - September 24, 2025




    Summary of Offense:

    On January 3, 1997, Coley and an accomplice, Joseph Green, murdered 21-year-old Samar El-Okdi in an alley behind West Grove Place in Toledo. Coley and Green abducted Ms. El-Okdi, shot her in the head at close range, and stole her car.

    Coley was also convicted for the attempted murder, robbery, and kidnapping of David Moore for a separate car-jacking incident that occurred days before the murder of Ms. El-Okdi.

    Green also received a death sentence for the aggravated murder of Ms. El-Odki. Green's sentence was eventually commuted to life imprisonment.

    On April 19, 2010, Coley filed an appeal before the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit over the denial of his habeas petition in Federal District Court.

    Federal court denies OH death row inmate's appeal

    A federal appeals court has denied a death row inmate's bid for release or a new trial in the fatal shooting of a northwest Ohio woman in 1997.

    Douglas Coley was convicted by a Toledo jury of the aggravated murder of 21-year-old Samar El-Okdi.

    Coley argued his trial attorneys were ineffective and prosecutors were guilty of misconduct for using inconsistent theories about whether Coley or a co-defendant was the shooter.

    A three-judge 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel on Friday affirmed a lower court ruling denying Coley's request.

    The ruling says it doesn't matter whether Coley was the shooter since jurors found he caused the death through prior calculation or design.

    Coley attorney Kevin Cafferkey says they will ask for full-court reconsideration or appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Coley's petition for writ of certiorari was DENIED.

    Appeals exhausted. Ruling could result in an execution date.

    9 Ohio executions rescheduled while state appeals lethal injection decision

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Execution dates for nine death row inmates have been delayed while the state continues its appeal of a court decision blocking use of its lethal injection protocol.

    Nine executions were pushed back in a revised schedule released Monday by Gov. John Kasich. The next execution, of Akron child killer Ronald Phillips, was rescheduled for July 26.

    On Jan. 26, a federal magistrate judge found the state's three-drug injection cocktail to be unconstitutional and stayed the next three executions. A three-judge panel for the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the lower court and kept the stay in place.

    The full Cincinnati appeals court last week agreed to rehear the state's appeal. A hearing has been set for June 14.

    The state had planed to execute Phillips and Gary Otte, who killed two people to death in back-to-back robberies in Parma, before that date. Otte's execution was moved to Sept. 13.

    The state has scheduled 33 executions through March 2021.

    Other execution dates rescheduled Monday:

    Raymond Tibbetts of Hamilton County, from July 26 to Oct. 18.

    Alva Campbell, Jr. of Franklin County, from Sept. 13 to Nov. 15.

    William Montgomery of Lucas County, from Oct. 18 Jan. 3, 2018.

    Robert Van Hook of Hamilton County, from Nov. 15 to Feb. 13, 2018.

    John Stumpf of Guernsey County, from Jan. 3, 2018 to Nov. 14

    Warren Henness of Franklin County, from Feb. 13, 2018 to March 14.

    Douglas Coley of Lucas County, from March 14, 2018 to Sept. 18, 2019.

    The state is defending its new lethal-injection drug combination of midazolam, rocuronium bromide and potassium chloride last October. Magistrate Judge Michael Merz of Dayton wrote that that use of midazolam as the first drug will create a "substantial risk of serious harm" or an "objectively intolerable risk of harm."

    Executions have been on hold since January 2014, when killer Dennis McGuire took 25 minutes to die after receiving a never-before-tried two-drug cocktail that also began with midazolam. Witnesses said he appeared to gasp several times during his execution and made loud snorting or snoring sounds.

    In today's opinions, the Sixth Circuit DENIED Coley's request for permission to file a successive habeas petition or to remand his case to District Court. He had hoped to argue Hurst v. Florida applied to Ohio's scheme.

    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
