    Antonio Sanchez Franklin - Ohio Execution - February 11, 2026




    Facts of the Crime:

    On April 18, 1997, Franklin murdered his grandmother, Ophelia Franklin, his grandfather, Ivory Franklin, Sr., and his uncle, Anthony Franklin, in their home on Reigel Street in Dayton. Franklin beat his three relatives with a baseball bat, shot his grandmother in the forehead and set their house on fire. He later confessed to a Dayton police detective.

    On April 9, 2009, Franklin filed an appeal in the US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals over the denial of his habeas petition in Federal District Court.

    How is it acceptable that the 6th took (and OFTEN takes...) 3+ years to rule while the 5th seems to take right around 1 year to rule?

    So we can expect soon that the Ohio Supreme Court will soon appoint the date of execution- late 2015 or maybe even early 2016...?

    Not necessarily. There are at least a dozen other Ohio inmates whose appeals appear to have been completely exhausted that haven't gotten execution dates yet. So, conceivably, if they're given priority over Franklin as far as getting execution dates with Ohio's absurd one-execution-every-two-months-except-December arrangement, Franklin may not get a date until 2018.
