    Lee Edward Moore, Jr. - Ohio Death Row




    Facts of the Crime:

    On January 14, 1994, Moore murdered 53-year-old Melvin Olinger in Cincinnati. Mr. Olinger was a Chicago businessman, visiting Ohio to see his parents and to attend a friend's funeral. Moore and an accomplice, Larry Kinley, abducted Mr. Olinger at gunpoint, forced him into the trunk of his car and drove to a factory area. Moore ordered Mr. Olinger out of the trunk, robbed him of his wallet and shot him in the head at close range. Moore later confessed to police.

    Lee Moore v. Betty Mitchell

    A federal appeals court has upheld a condemned Ohio killer's conviction and death sentence in the 1994 Cincinnati slaying of a suburban Chicago businessman.

    Lee Moore was convicted of aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and kidnapping in the killing of Melvin Olinger, who was forced into the trunk of his car, robbed and fatally shot.

    A 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 Tuesday to uphold Moore's conviction and sentence.

    The panel reversed part of a lower court's ruling that had granted Moore's request for a new trial based on claims of ineffective counsel and improper jury instructions at sentencing. The appellate court affirmed the district court's denial of Moore's petition on all other claims including prosecutorial misconduct.

    Moore's attorney didn't immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.

    I assume he's now date worthy? Another 2016 chamber date maybe?

    Well, if precedence is given to the 16 condemned inmates whose certiorari petitions had been denied before Moore's was, and if Ohio keeps setting execution dates every two months, then he should get a November 2018 date.
