Wouldn't surprise me if this one gets commuted also.
It's from Cuyahoga County and I read in one article that the victims family actually supports a clemency.
Wonder if the victim would? They don't get a say.
Proverbs 21:15 "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evil doers."
You're correct but I'm more concerned about McGinty asking for clemency like he's done in several other DP cases from his county.
If the victim had a particularly strong aversion to capital punishment during their life it's possible for the family to express that at a clemency hearing. Like what happens in organ donation. But if the family and the victim held a different view on the subject what they say wouldn't necessarily be accurate. Even so, what the victims family says is the only way of gauging how the victim would have felt.
Judges extends temporary halt to Ohio executions
Ohio A federal judge has extended a months-long moratorium on executions in Ohio into next year as questions mount about the effectiveness of a new, two-drug combination being used to carry out the death penalty.
The ruling by federal judge Gregory Frost will delay executions scheduled for September, October and November and highlights the ongoing problem faced by states in obtaining drugs to put inmates to death.
The last moratorium was scheduled to expire this week.
The one-page order by Frost issued Friday extends it through Jan. 15. It affects the state's latest death penalty policy change, which was announced in late April and increases the amount of the sedative and painkiller Ohio uses.
On Jan. 16, an Ohio inmate repeatedly gasped during the record 26 minutes it took him to die, and an Arizona inmate who took nearly two hours to die July 23.
Ohio's first choice for a drug is compounded pentobarbital, a specialty version of the drug it used previously with few problems. But it has been unable to obtain supplies of compounded pentobarbital and so switched to its backup method of the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone.
Missouri and Texas both have supplies of compounded pentobarbital, though the states won't reveal their sources, and have used them to carry out several executions successfully in recent months.
Allen Bohnert, the lead defense attorney challenging the use of the two-drug method, declined to comment. A message was left with the state prisons agency.
The next execution scheduled in Ohio was to have occurred Sept. 18, when Ronald Phillips was set to die for the 1993 rape and death of his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter in Akron.
