    Jerome Henderson - Ohio Execution - October 21, 2026




    Facts of the Crime:

    On March 3, 1985, Henderson murdered 26-year-old Mary Acoff in her Cincinnati apartment. Henderson broke into Ms. Acoff's apartment, attempted to rape her, stabbed and beat her multiple times in the head, chest and neck and slashed her throat at least 13 times. Ms. Acoff's nude body was found by her ten-year-old daughter, when she returned home. DNA testing, conducted during federal appeals in 2003, identified Ms. Acoff as the source of blood, and Henderson as the source of semen, found on Henderson's coat.

    Because his federal appeals haven't been exhausted yet.

    Is there a particular legal reason because of which Ohio executions are always scheduled so far in advance?

    Ohio protocol states there must be three weeks between executions. Also in Ohio the trial judge assigns an execution date at sentencing. Sooner dates are saved for new death sentences.
