Execution date set for double-murderer Charles Lorraine
WARREN – The Ohio Supreme Court has set an execution date for convicted double-murderer Charles Lorraine now that all of his state and federal appeals to get off death row have been exhausted.
The high court Friday scheduled Lorraine, 51, to die on March 15, 2023, for the 1986 slayings of 77-year-old Raymond Montgomery and his bedridden wife, Doris, 80, inside their Warren home on Haymaker Avenue NW.
Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins, who filed a motion in April with the Supreme Court asking the court to set the date, said “it’s long overdue.”
“I’m very pleased. It’s unfortunate his execution has been delayed so long from the point of view of guilt beyond all doubt … and from the point of view of the victim’s family.”
On May 6, 1986, Lorraine, using a butcher’s knife, stabbed Raymond Montgomery five times and then went downstairs to stab Doris Montgomery nine times.

So he got an eleven year reprieve over a legal issue that got thrown out a few months after the stay. The judiciary in Ohio is horrible.
