    In today's orders, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Tibbetts' petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

    Justice Karen Nelson Moore wrote a 17-page dissent.

    Welcome to the site Stephanie. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Hopefully the wait is almost over. The delay in the case seems to lie squarely with the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. It took the court close to 4 years to deny his last appeal.

    The earliest I could see Mr. Tibbett's execution would be the summer of 2012. The Ohio Supreme Court has been setting execution dates for men on death row with one man to be executed per month. Numerous inmates are elegible for an execution date in Ohio but the Supremes will only fulfill so many requests at one time. Being that he still may be able to appeal to the U.S Supreme Court, Tibbetts can be executed anywhere between July 2012 - December 2012 or even later.

    In almost every instance where it takes a few years to render a decision on a death penalty case in any circuit court of appeals, it's almost always because the panel is split 2-1 in upholding or overturning a death sentence. 1 case I'm awaiting Judgement on out of the 6th Circuit is David Matthews. Oral Argument was held a few years ago, still no opinion yet.
