COLUMBUS - The Ohio Supreme Court yesterday refused to set execution dates for two convicted murderers
A federal appeals court has overturned the death sentences given Toledoan Frederick Dickerson for fatally shooting the boyfriend of his estranged girlfriend and a teenage girl in 1985.
The Ohio Supreme Court's ruling Wednesday overturning the sentence of
the 1st woman condemned since the state resumed executions in 1999 was the
3rd such sentence the court has tossed out this year.
The Ohio attorney general's office, though, does not see it as a trend
toward leniency by the courts.
Case involved murder-for-hire
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati threw out the death
sentence of a man convicted in a 1995 murder-for-hire, ruling Wednesday
that co-defendants were spared, so the man should not have been
condemned.
