No Executions For Rest Of Year

Gov., DeWine delays the three remaining executions that were scheduled for this year in Ohio. The governor is making good on his promise of no executions in 2021. He cited no source for lethal injection drugs…and a lack of movement by lawmakers, in making a switch in execution method a priority. The state’s last execution was July 18, 2018, when Ohio put to death Robert Van Hook for killing David Self in Cincinnati in 1985. All three executions have been rescheduled for 2024.
