Articles 57 to 70
ELYRIA - Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge ordered this
morning that Ohio change the lethal injection protocol used to
execute condemned prisoners.
The ruling comes after two days of testimony from anesthesiologists
and written arguments submitted in the case. Capital murder
defendants Ronald McCloud and Ruben Rivera challenged the state's
lethal injection protocol arguing that it violates Ohio law that
guarantees a quick and painless death.
A federal appeals court ruled last week that a Cleveland man who has been on Ohio's death row for 19 years must be given a new trial or freed from prison.
The three-judge panel said that prosecutors withheld from Joe D'Ambrosio's attorneys several pieces of evidence that could have cleared him of a 1988 murder.
Leroy Head, the man who confessed more than FIVE times to the crime which Arthur Tyler has been sentenced to die for in Ohio has been FREED on parole on the 3 June 2008.

A Cleveland man who has spent nearly two decades on Death Row must be given a new trial or let out of a prison, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.
The three-judge panel agreed with a ruling made in 2006 by U.S. District Judge Kate O'Malley that Joe D'Ambrosio is entitled to a new trial because prosecutors withheld several pieces of crucial evidence that could have exonerated him.
