It's time for a Moratorium on Executions
Executions in Ohio must stop NOW. No one should be executed under a system of justice while that very system is being closely examined to assess its fairness and accuracy. Doubt continues to erode the system of capital punishment:
- Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor established a Joint Task Force to examine Ohio’s system of capital punishment. The Joint Task Force should be allowed to operate without the undue pressure of ongoing executions. There are currently 13 Ohio death row inmates with execution dates.
- There is a bill to repeal the death penalty in the Ohio House - Bill 160.
- There is a bill to repeal the death penalty in the Ohio Senate – Bill 270.
- In January 2012, Joe D’Ambrosio became the 6th person to be exonerated from Ohio’s death row, further demonstrating Ohio is at risk for executing an innocent person.
Take Action;
