Ohioans to Stop Executions

“If the only way we can preserve this method of execution is by making it more secret, that, to me, is something of a sign that we shouldn’t be trying to preserve this method of execution.”

In the next General Assembly session, state legislative leaders should take up the common sense reforms recommended by the Supreme Court Task Force.  But they should immediately put aside the “secret executions” bill that will inevitably make Ohio’s death penalty system more flawed than it is already.

“These men spent nearly four decades in prison. Right now they have nothing,” said Kevin Werner, executive director of Ohioans to Stop Executions.
