    John C. Stojetz - Ohio Execution - May 19, 2027




    Summary of Offense:

    On April 25, 1996, Stojetz murdered 17-year-old Damico Watkins at Madison Correctional Institution. Mr. Watkins was a black juvenile inmate, and Stojetz was an adult inmate and head of the Aryan Brotherhood whose members refused to be housed in the same cells as black inmates. Stojetz and five other adult inmates, all followers of the Aryan Brotherhood, attacked Mr. Watkins and repeatedly stabbed him with shanks (homemade knives). When Mr. Watkins escaped his attackers and pled for his life, Stojetz cornered him and stabbed him to death.

    Prosecutor wants execution date for 1996 Ohio prison killing

    by The Associated Press

    A prosecutor is seeking an execution date for a death row inmate convicted of killing a 17-year-old prisoner in a race-related slaying.

    Madison County Prosecutor Stephen Pronai says condemned prisoner John Stojetz has exhausted all his legal options and is also not part of a bigger lawsuit challenging Ohio's lethal injection method.

    The 63-year-old Stojetz was convicted of stabbing to death 17-year-old Damico Watkins at Madison Correctional Institution on April 25, 1996.

    Court records say Stojetz and five other adult inmates, all members of the Aryan Brotherhood, attacked Watkins after saying they refused to be housed with black inmates. Stojetz is white and Watkins was black.

    Pronai on Friday asked the Ohio Supreme Court to set a date. Stojetz' attorneys are expected to oppose the request.

    All Ohio execution date announcements should just be named prosecutor kicks can down road.
