    Odraye G. Jones aka Malik Allah-U-Akbar - Ohio



    Officer William D. Glover




    Summary of Offense:

    On November 17, 1997, Jones murdered Ashtabula Police Officer William D. Glover, Jr. in Ashtabula. Officer Glover was shot while responding to a dispatcher's call that Jones, who had outstanding felony warrants, had been spotted in Ashtabula. Jones fled on foot as Officer Glover approached him and a pursuit commenced. Soon thereafter, Jones pulled a gun from his pocket and fired several shots at Officer Glover. When Officer Glover fell to the ground, Jones ran over to him and kicked him in the chest.

    Death row inmate still appealing conviction in police killing

    Ohio plans to resume executions of convicted killers next year, and more than two dozen men have already been scheduled to die. Odraye Jones of Ashtabula is not among them.

    Jones is still appealing his 1998 conviction in the shooting death of Ashtabula Patrolman William D. Glover Jr., according to Ashtabula County Prosecutor Nicholas Iarocci. The county cannot seek execution until every appeal has been heard and rejected, he said.

    "My office would have to file a death warrant when all of his appeals are exhausted in order to have the execution scheduled," Iarocci said in an email message.

    Jones, 40, is incarcerated at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution. He has spent 18 years, nearly half his life, on Ohio's Death Row.

    Earlier this month, officials said the state wants to resume executions after a lull of nearly three years. Ohio's last execution occurred in January 2014. The program was halted when the state was unable to obtain the chemicals needed from pharmaceutical companies.

    Ohio will use a blend of midazolam, rocuronium bromide and potassium chloride to kill Ronald Phillips, who is scheduled to enter the death chamber on Jan. 12. He was sentenced to die for the 1993 rape and murder of his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter.

    Executions have been scheduled into 2019, according to news reports. Bret Crow, Ohio Supreme Court spokesman, said execution dates are worked out in consultation with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

    Generally, the Ohio Supreme Court does not act until a county's prosecutor requests a date, Crow said. Jones has exhausted all his state appeals, but a writ of habeas corpus is pending in federal court, according to Iarocci.

    A spokesperson at the Ohio attorney general's office, which is handling Jones' appeal, could not be immediately reached for comment on Friday.

    Jones used the name Malik Allah-U-Akbar in a 2014 filing before the Ohio Supreme Court.

    Glover, 30, had served on the Ashtabula Police Department only a few months when he was shot and killed Nov. 17, 1997, while chasing Jones in the area of West 43rd Street and Coleman Avenue. Jones was wanted on a felony warrant at the time. Glover suffered four gunshot wounds.

    Jones was convicted after one of the longest trials in recent history. Jury selection began May 5, 1998, and the jury formally recommended the death penalty exactly one month later. Jones entered the Ohio corrections system on June 10, 1998, according to the ODRC website.

    Shouldn't this be the Sixth Circuit?
    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
