Ohio Supreme Court sets 2 new execution dates
Lawyer Blogs
The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday set two new execution dates even as the state continues to rework its procedures for putting condemned inmates to death by injection.
The execution dates are the first in four and a half months set by the court, which had been scheduling executions about once a month.
The death penalty is temporarily on hold in Ohio while the state develops the new policies. The update follows a botched execution on Sept. 15 that was halted after two hours when executioners couldn't find a usable vein on inmate Rommel Broom.
The court's decision Wednesday set a May 13 execution date for Michael Beuke, 47, convicted of the 1983 murder of Robert Craig, a man he met while hitchhiking on Interstate 275 in southwest Ohio.
Beuke shot Craig twice in the head and once in the chest, dumped his body in the bushes and stole his car.
