    Gov. DeWine issues reprieves to three more killers on Ohio Death Row

    Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday issued a reprieve to three more Death Row inmates, pushing off their scheduled executions while Ohio works to develop a new lethal injection protocol that withstands challenges in federal court.

    The order moves the scheduled executions for the following inmates: Cleveland Jackson from May 29 to Nov. 13; Kareem Jackson from July 10 to Jan. 16; Gregory Lott from Aug. 14 to March 12, 2020. In January, DeWine issued a reprieve of execution to Warren Henness.

    The delays come in response to a Jan. 14 order from federal Magistrate Michael R. Merz of Dayton that found Ohio’s current three-drug protocol to be cruel and unusual punishment. The DeWine administration said the latest round of reprieves come because it is “highly unlikely” that a new protocol can be developed and litigated by the originally scheduled execution dates.

    At a forum organized by the Associated Press in February, DeWine was asked by this newspaper whether he had personal reservations about capital punishment.“It is the law of the state of Ohio. I’m going to let it go at that at this point. We are seeing, clearly, some challenges that you all have reported in regard to carrying out the death penalty. I’m not going to go down that path any more today,” he said. DeWine voted for the capital punishment law as a state senator nearly 40 years ago, long before DNA analysis of crime scene evidence led to exonerations from death rows across the country.

    There are 137 inmates on Ohio Death Row, including Samuel Moreland of Dayton, who was found guilty of murdering two women and three children in November 1985. Moreland, who insists he is innocent, won the right for additional DNA testing, which has been delayed because of bureaucratic red tape.Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost recently took steps to arrange for the testing to be done on the Moreland case by the state crime labs. Results are expected within 30 days of the lab receiving the material to test.

    Ohio won’t hold any executions in 2019 as Gov. Mike DeWine issues more reprieves

    By Jeremy Pelzer
    cleveland.com

    COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio will not hold any executions in 2019, as Gov. Mike DeWine on Wednesday delayed execution dates for death-row inmates James Galen Hanna and Kareem Jackson because of ongoing issues with finding execution drugs.

    In a statement, DeWine’s office announced that Hanna’s execution date has been moved back from Dec. 11 to July 16, 2020. Jackson’s execution date was postponed from Jan. 16, 2020 to Sept. 16, 2020.

    The reason given for the reprieves is the state’s continuing problems with finding a pharmaceutical company willing to sell drugs for use in executions. The governor has repeatedly expressed his concern that if companies find that Ohio used its drugs to put people to death, they will refuse to sell any of its drugs (not just the ones used in executions) to the state. That would endanger the ability of thousands of Ohioans – such as Medicaid recipients, state troopers, and prison inmates – to get drugs through state programs.

    DeWine’s announcement means that the next death-row inmate set to die is Gregory Lott on March 12, 2020.

    Hanna, a Warren County resident, fatally stabbed a cellmate with a paintbrush handle in 1997. Jackson was sentenced to death for murdering two people execution-style during a 1997 drug robbery in Columbus. Lott killed John McGrath, an 82-year-old East Cleveland man, in 1986 after robbing him, beating him, tying him up, then setting him on fire.

    The reprieves of Hanna and Jackson weren’t a surprise: DeWine indicated last week that he was planning to push the execution dates back.

    Jackson was initially scheduled to be put to death in July, but earlier this year DeWine moved back the execution dates for Jackson and two other condemned inmates.

    Since taking office in January, DeWine has moved back a number of scheduled executions amid a years-long struggle by Ohio officials to find new lethal-injection drugs as European pharmaceutical companies have cut off further sales of previously used drugs on moral and legal grounds.

    After the controversial execution of killer Dennis McGuire in January 2014, Ohio imposed a three-year moratorium on executions as it worked to find a new lethal-injection protocol – and suppliers willing to sell the state the drugs.

    Since the moratorium was lifted in 2017, Ohio has executed three people using the current three-drug cocktail — all without complications or unexpected problems with the drugs. (The execution of a fourth condemned inmate, Alva Campbell, was postponed after several unsuccessful attempts to insert an IV. Campbell died in his cell a few months later).

    However, last January, federal magistrate Judge Michael Merz ruled that the three drugs Ohio has used since last year for executions — midazolam (as a sedative), a paralytic drug, and potassium chloride (to stop the heart) — likely violate the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment guarantee against “cruel and unusual punishment.”

    While an appeals court later overruled Merz’s conclusion, the ruling led DeWine to order state prisons officials to look at other lethal-injection drugs. The governor has even suggested that state lawmakers consider abandoning the lethal-injection process altogether and pick another method of execution.

    I wonder if Heidi will delete this comment too?

    I’m really starting to wonder if Cordray would’ve been better in the governors mansion? He supported the death penalty relentlessly while he was attorney general. He was also pro death penalty win he was asked about it in the midterms. A lot of the ways DeWine governs I wouldn’t call him a “conservative.”

    I’ve wondered the same, however last year Cordray sent out a tweet saying it was time for a revaluation of the DP after he thought DeWine answered the question about his death penalty views with “great hesitancy”.

    All of these people that have been put on the execution schedule up past 2023 would’ve possibly been executed under Kasich the Dennis McGuire episode pushed all the executions into 2023 due to their qwarky interval law.

    Kasich himself is probably a closet anti. Scott got the required drugs needed for Florida so quickly and has a chockfull in Florida. It took Kasich on the other hand around 3 years for the required drugs.

    At least Kasich didn't postpone executions with a proper protocol because of a judge's non-binding whining. Don't forget this fiasco started with Warren Henness in February 2019. He'd have been executed in February 2019 under Kasich. Old Whine is far worse, and by far the biggest bust for Republican death penalty governors.

    The only way Ohio gets going again is if Dave Yost is Governor which is their current attorney general. Otherwise this will be a George Ryan repeat.

    Gov. DeWine issues reprieves of execution

    DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) - Three reprieves of execution were announced by Governor Mike DeWine on Friday afternoon.

    The three reprieves of execution are Kareem M. Jackson, who was scheduled to be executed on September 16, 2020. The new date of execution has been moved to September 15, 2022.

    Stanley L. Fitzpatrick, who was scheduled to be executed on October 14, 2020. The new date of execution has been moved to February 15, 2023.

    David Allen Sneed, who was scheduled to be executed on December 9, 2020. The new date of execution has been moved to April 19, 2023.

    DeWine announced that these repreives are being issued in part due to the ongoing problems involving the willingness of pharmaceutical suppliers to provide drugs to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) in accordance with normal DRC protocol, without endangering other Ohioans.

    DeWine spent 8 years defending Ohio’s death penalty as AG, just as Yost is doing presently, only to do an about face after entering the governor’s office. I really had no reason to expect this, but nothing should surprise me anymore, the tough on crime era is on life support.

    The reason why he’s doing it is because the Catholic Church came out and said no death penalty under all circumstances. He said when interviewed about it back at end 2018 was it would be better off if we locked the door and threw away the key forever which means he shifted.
