    I would hope Ohio would use one of the "open" months this year to schedule this execution.

    Another appeal planned in 1984 New Concord murder

    A man convicted of killing a New Concord woman 29 years ago plans to appeal his case once again.

    John Stumpf, 52, has been sitting on death row at the Ohio State Penitentiary since he was convicted of murdering Mary Jane Stout, of New Concord, during a 1984 robbery. In 2004, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated Stumpf’s conviction and death sentence based on an involuntary guilty plea and inconsistent prosecution theories.

    But the case ended up back in court, and on Wednesday, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals denied an appeal that would have repealed the death sentence.

    Chris Stout, Mary Jane’s son, said that, although he’s happy with the appeals court’s most recent decision and thankful to everyone who’s been helping along the way, he knows this isn’t the end.

    “I still don’t trust this decision, something else might happen with it,” Stout said. “Things with the 6th Circuit courts have just been so inconsistent. For 29 years, this has been getting kicked around. I’ve been fighting with this the whole time, and I’ve still got some fight left in me.”

    Stumpf’s case has been in federal courts four times already.

    His attorney, Alan Freedman, with the Midwest Center for Justice in Illinois, said he’s disappointed with the federal appeals panel’s decision.

    “We’re ultimately going to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court,” Freedman said. “I think there’s some chance they will take it again. You never know with them, but they took this case before.”

    In 2005, the Supreme Court reversed a decision by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals that vacated the death sentence.

    Along with the aggravated murder conviction for which he is facing the death penalty, Stumpf is also serving 25 years for the attempted murder of Mary Jane’s husband, Norman Stout.

    According to trial records, on May 14, 1984, Stumpf and co-defendant Clyde Daniel Wesley, 52, asked to use the Stout’s phone after their car ran out of gas on Interstate 70. Once inside, Stumpf and Wesley kept the Stouts at bay with guns in an attempted robbery.

    When Norman began to move towards Stumpf, he shot Norman between the eyes. Once on the floor, Norman was shot in the head a second time.

    From there, four more shots were fired. Mary Jane was hit three times in the left side of her head, although Stumpf has said he never shot Mary Jane.

    Stumpf pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated murder, and a three-judge panel in Guernsey County gave him the death sentence. In 2004, Stumpf appealed the conviction because Wesley also was tried and convicted in her killing.

    The 6th Circuit vacated the death sentence based on an involuntary guilty plea and inconsistent prosecution theories.

    Stumpf is being detained at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution.

    Wesley was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 20 years for aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated murder and aggravated murder. He is incarcerated at the Marion Correctional Institution.

    Freedman said he will file a petition with the Supreme Court within 90 days. He said he expects to get a ruling within the next couple of months and that “all of the litigation should be over within a year.”

    “Regardless of the outcome of the case, I do wish the Stout family well,” Freedman said. “They’re good people. I believe in my case, but I know how much they’ve suffered.”

    Old murder case could be near an end

    One of Ohio’s oldest, most convoluted murder cases could be near an end after the U.S. Supreme Court refused yesterday to hear convicted killer John David Stumpf’s appeal.

    In the nearly 30 years since the murder of Mary Jane Stout and shooting of her husband, Norman, in their New Concord home, Stumpf’s capital punishment case has been through the courts at all levels, multiple times. It was the second rejection by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Guernsey County Prosecutor Daniel G. Padden said today he will ask the Ohio Supreme Court to set an execution date for Stumpf.

    “We are pleased with the court’s decision. We believe this is consistent with justice,” Padden said. “It’s taken its time to get through the system, but that insures that every stone has been overturned and there’s been a very careful review of all the facts.”

    The Ohio Supreme Court sets the date for lethal injections. Executions are now scheduled through January 2016.

    The U.S. Supreme Court declined, without comment, to hear Stumpf’s appeal of a July 3, 2013, ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeals court upheld the death sentence by 9-8 vote after a rare full-court hearing in 2012.

    Stumpf, now 53, was convicted and sentenced to death for Stout’s murder on May 13, 1984. The daughter of Italian immigrants was the mother of three. Norman, her husband of 30 years and an Air Force veteran of the Korean War, was shot in the head and is permanently disabled.

    Stumpf' is represented by Alan Freedman, an attorney with the Midwest Center for Justice in Illinois. He has no remaining appeals pending in any court.

    Execution date set for man convicted of Guernsey County murder

    By MARC KOVAC
    Dix Capital Bureau

    COLUMBUS — The Ohio Supreme Court has set an execution date for a man convicted in the killing of Guernsey County woman more than 30 years ago.

    Barring additional legal action or delays, John David Stumpf's capital sentence will be carried out on Jan. 3, 2018. The date was announced in a short filing by justices Monday.

    According to documents, Stumpf murdered Mary Jane Stout and attempted to kill her husband, Norman Stout, in May of 1984. Stumpf and an accomplice asked to use the telephone at the couple's home near Interstate 70, then ransacked the premises before shooting both of the Stouts.

    Stumpf later admitted shooting Norman Stout, who survived, but denied killing Mary Jane, according to documents.

    Guernsey County Prosecutor Daniel Padden requested the execution date a year ago, noting Stumpf had "fully exhausted all available legal challenges to the conviction and death sentence."

    The state's high court also set two other execution dates Monday. Douglas Coley, convicted of killing a Toledo woman in 1997, faces execution on March 14, 2018. And Stanley Fitzpatrick, who killed three people in Hamilton County in 2001, faces execution on May 30, 2018.

    With the additions, 19 Death Row inmates now have executions dates. The next is Ronald Phillips on Jan. 21; he was convicted in the 1993 rape and murder of a 3-year-old girl in Akron.

    No executions are scheduled through the end of this year, following reprieves issued by Gov. John Kasich while state prison officials work to implement a new execution protocol and identify suppliers of lethal injection drugs.

    In early January, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction announced it was abandoning a two-drug lethal injection combination that resulted in the prolonged execution of a Preble County man last year.

    Instead of midazolam and hydromorphone, the state will rely on pentobarbital or thiopental sodium for future lethal injections. The latter was last used in an Ohio execution in 2011, when officials shifted to the former due to difficulties finding supplies.

    The change spotlighted struggles Ohio and other states have had in carrying out death sentences, after overseas companies effectively blocked the use of drugs they manufacture in executions.

    State prison officials could purchase lethal injection mixtures from compounding pharmacies, but the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction has had difficulties finding pharmacies willing to provide the lethal injection drugs because they don’t want to be identified publicly.

    Late last year, state lawmakers passed, and Gov. John Kasich signed into law, legislation blocking the release of information about compounding pharmacies and others involved in executions.

    Lawmakers also have left open the possibility of shifting to different methods of execution.

    9 Ohio executions rescheduled while state appeals lethal injection decision

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Execution dates for nine death row inmates have been delayed while the state continues its appeal of a court decision blocking use of its lethal injection protocol.

    Nine executions were pushed back in a revised schedule released Monday by Gov. John Kasich. The next execution, of Akron child killer Ronald Phillips, was rescheduled for July 26.

    On Jan. 26, a federal magistrate judge found the state's three-drug injection cocktail to be unconstitutional and stayed the next three executions. A three-judge panel for the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the lower court and kept the stay in place.

    The full Cincinnati appeals court last week agreed to rehear the state's appeal. A hearing has been set for June 14.

    The state had planed to execute Phillips and Gary Otte, who killed two people to death in back-to-back robberies in Parma, before that date. Otte's execution was moved to Sept. 13.

    The state has scheduled 33 executions through March 2021.

    Other execution dates rescheduled Monday:

    Raymond Tibbetts of Hamilton County, from July 26 to Oct. 18.

    Alva Campbell, Jr. of Franklin County, from Sept. 13 to Nov. 15.

    William Montgomery of Lucas County, from Oct. 18 Jan. 3, 2018.

    Robert Van Hook of Hamilton County, from Nov. 15 to Feb. 13, 2018.

    John Stumpf of Guernsey County, from Jan. 3, 2018 to Nov. 14

    Warren Henness of Franklin County, from Feb. 13, 2018 to March 14.

    Douglas Coley of Lucas County, from March 14, 2018 to Sept. 18, 2019.

    The state is defending its new lethal-injection drug combination of midazolam, rocuronium bromide and potassium chloride last October. Magistrate Judge Michael Merz of Dayton wrote that that use of midazolam as the first drug will create a "substantial risk of serious harm" or an "objectively intolerable risk of harm."

    Executions have been on hold since January 2014, when killer Dennis McGuire took 25 minutes to die after receiving a never-before-tried two-drug cocktail that also began with midazolam. Witnesses said he appeared to gasp several times during his execution and made loud snorting or snoring sounds.
