Sign Online Petition to Commute the Death Sentence of Abdul Awkal

Abdul Awkal was convicted of the 1992 murders of Latife Awkal and Mahmoud Abdul-Aziz. We urge Governor Kasich to consider the following and commute Abdul’s death sentence to life without parole:

• His trial counsel was ineffective for calling a psychiatrist who contradicted the defense’s theory.
• During the penalty phase, counsel failed to provide records of his previous involuntary hospitalization or to present testimony from competent mental health experts.
• There was prosecutorial misconduct in the closing statement, which may have influenced jury members prior to their deliberations.

We deeply sympathize with the family and friends of Latife Awkal and Mahmoud Abdul-Aziz, but we respectfully offer that another death will neither heal nor resolve this tragedy.

Action petitioned for: We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge Governor Kasich to commute the sentence of Abdul Awkal to life without parole.

___________________________________________________________

Previous Information

Awkal Gets New Trial

The majority of the Sixth Circuit panel (Moore, Cole, Gilman dissenting) in Awkal v. Mitchell, 01-4278, reversed the district court's denial of habeas relief and granted a new trial on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel at the guilt phase. Awkal presented claims for relief on IAC during the guilt phase, IAC during sentencing, and prosecutorial misconduct. The panel did not decide the other two claims, but focused only on the question of whether counsel was ineffective for calling an expert witness who testified unequivocally that Awkal was sane at the time of the murder, when Awkal's entire defense was that he was not guilty by reason of insanity.

Counsel presented testimony of three experts: one whose testimony was stricken because he was not licensed in Ohio (and he had received his degree by mail); another who was a pediatrician who had practiced psychiatry for less than one year and was not yet certified; and the third, Dr. Rizk, who had conducted Awkal's pretrial sanity and competency evaluations for the court. The majority noted that counsel was in possession of Dr' Rizk's report well before he testified and should have known that it would be damaging. The majority analogized the case to Combs v. Coyle, 205 F.3d 269 (6th Cir. 2000), in which the court found ineffective assistance of counsel where counsel presented expert testimony that eviscerated the petitioner's intoxication defense. It found that Rizk's testimony so devastated Awkal's defense that it was objectively unreasonable for his counsel to call him as a witness. Regarding the prejudice prong, the majority held that the damage done by this witness was so obvious and extensive that had counsel not called him, there was a reasonable probability that the jury's verdict would have been different. In its AEDPA analysis, it further found that the Ohio Supreme Court's application of Strickland was objectively unreasonable in that the court failed to take into account the obvious harm caused by counsel's decision.

Judge Gilman, in dissent found that while counsel's decision was questionable, it was not outside the wide range of professionally competent assistance. It was clear that counsel had made a conscious decision to present this damaging testimony and so it must have been part of the "strategy." As to the prejudice prong, Judge Gilman found that the evidence against Awkal being psychotic at the time of the murders was so overwhelming, that he had no chance at an insanity defense even without Dr. Rizk's testimony

County; Hamilton
Clemency Report

___________________________________________________________

Some of the reasons for clemency were;

Mr. Bedford was mentally retarded but was convicted before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution bars the execution of a mentally retarded person. No court had ever heard his evidence supporting this claim.

Mr. Bedford had other severe mental impairments. He had significant memory problems and did not remember events like his father's murder when he was a child and his own trial

Recently, his condition had deteriorated even further as a result of dementia and other health conditions, including seizures, fainting spells, head trauma, and stroke-like brain injuries. These impairments had led to a life long struggle with the most basic concepts necessary to function on a day-to-day basis and continue to prevent Mr. Bedford from helping his attorneys save his life

SCOTUS Reverses the Circuit in Bies V. Bobby

BOBBY, WARDEN v. BIES
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
No. 08–598. Argued April 27, 2009—Decided June 1, 2009

SCOTUS reversed the Sixth Circuit in Bies v. Bobby, 08-598. Writing for a unanimous Court, Justice Ginsberg found that the Double Jeopardy Clause did not bar the Ohio courts from conducting a full hearing on Bies'mental retardation claim. The Court found that since Bies was attempting to vacate his death sentence, and the State was not seeking to retry him or to increase his punishment, the case did not fall into the perameters of the Double Jeopardy Clause. The Court went on to hold that the doctrine of issue preclusion, barring relitigation of issues actually determined and necessary to the ultimate outcome of a prior proceeding, did not apply. It was not clear to the Court that the issue of Bies’ mental retardation was actually determined under the Lott test at trial or on direct appeal. Further, the Court found that the state courts’ statements regarding Bies’ mental capacity were not necessary to the judgments affirming his death sentence. Curiously, Justice Ginsberg asserted the idea that mental retardation as a mitigator and mental retardation under Atkins and Lott are discrete legal issues. What is odd about this statement is that mental retardation is a medical definition, and the idea that the definition changes with the context would likely surprise the APA.

http://www.supremecourtus.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/08-598.pdf

Bobby v. Bies
Issue: Whether the holding of a state post-conviction hearing to determine the mental capacity of a capital defendant whose death sentence was affirmed before Atkins v. Virginia (2002), which barred the execution of mentally retarded defendants, violates the Double Jeopardy clause.

Opinion (6th Circuit) Argued: October 31, 2007 / Decided and Filed: February 27, 2008

Murdered by the State of Ohio on Nov. 15, 2011
Reginald Brooks # 179740

DOB: 3/20/45
County; Cuyahoga

Clemency Report

Some of the reasons to ask for clemency were;
• Everyone agrees that Reginald suffered from schizophrenia before, during, and after murders:

• He also suffers from paranoia and believed his wife and co-workers tried to poison him, accused his wife of having an incestuous relationship with their oldest son, believed in voodoo and mutilated dolls, and refused to allow his oldest son to display athletic trophies and was under severe stress.

• In addition, Reginald suffered from psychogenic amnesia and was unable supply some important information to his lawyer.

• Reginald’s lawyers did not thoroughly interview family members, friends or mental health experts who could have provided additional information about his mental state.

• Reginald Brooks has been on Ohio’s Death Row since 1984. Clearly he can safely kept away from society.

We deeply sympathize with family and friends of the Brooks children, but we respectfully offer that another death will neither heal nor resolve this tragedy and urge Governor Kasich to commute the sentence of Reginald Brooks to life without parole.

Vigil held for killer, victims

By MARLY KOSINSKI

Tribune Chronicle

When he was young, Roderick Davie was stung on his backside by a hornet after he disturbed a nest while pruning some bushes in front of his house on Maple Street.

"I told him to put some toothpaste on it to take the stinger out. He did, and he was back at it a little while later," Eugene Dawson said.

Dawson was among about eight families from Maple Street who gathered Tuesday at Tod's Crossing for a candlelight vigil for Davie, 38, who was executed Tuesday by lethal injection for the murders of John Coleman and Tracey Jefferys and the attempted murder of John Everett in 1991.

Dawson, who has lived on Maple Street for nearly 50 years, said the Davies were good neighbors and a good family, and he is not sure how Roderick's life got so off track.

Most of the people in attendance at Tuesday's vigil knew Davie, but they also prayed for the families of Coleman, Jefferys and Everett.

"I have known the Davies all their lives. This situation was tragic for them as well as for the families of his victims," said Maggie Raimey, president of the Tod's Crossing tenant association.

The Rev. David Grant of the Church of God and True Holiness in Cleveland said he did not know the families, but he loves to pray and came to the vigil because 6th Ward Councilwoman Cheryl Saffold invited him.

"The whole community suffers when a tragedy like this occurs. So we need to pray for the community to heal," Grant said.

The Rev. Ben Hurt of Greater Apostolic Faith Church on Tod Avenue N.W. said the community needs to pour out love on all the families.

"We are living in a generation that has turned away from God. If we pray together, God will change things," Hurt said.

Saffold said Davie was her neighbor as a child and Coleman was a close friend.

"This tragedy was personal for me, but I believe love permeates all tragedy," Saffold said.

Warren Safety-Service Director Doug Franklin said Coleman helped raise him and was a mentor to him.

"His family is hurting today along with Davie's family," Franklin said.

Darryl Durr *

2009-05-21T07:45:00.001-07:00

Murdered by the State of Ohio on April 20, 2010

Darryl Durr # 207 889

Race: B
County: Cuyahoga
Clemency Hearing Date: September 30, 2009

Clemency Report

Justice for Darryl Durr
http://justicefordarryldurr.blogspot.com/

I. Inadequacies in Darryl's Legal Proceedings

A. The State's Case rested on the testimony of Deborah Mullins. If Ms. Mullins was telling the truth, she had ample opportunity to go to the police the night Angel Vincent disappeared. Instead she waited over nine months to come forward with her story, at a time where her relationship with Darryl seemed to be breaking apart.

B. The funding for investigative and expert witness assistance was so meager ($500.00) that defense counsel could not obtain the assistance that was needed to find and talk to witnesses and to assist in the mitigation phase of the case.

C. The State failed to turn over reports that included information that would have assisted the defense. These included statements:

a. That the deputy coroner's initial findings concerning the date of death indicated the body had been dead "from days to a couple of weeks". Angel Vincent disappeared on January 31, 1988 and the decomposed body that was later identified as hers was found on April 30, 1988, three months later.

b. An expert opinion that the body was that of a 20 - 30 year old female. Angel Vincent was 16 years old when she disappeared.

c. Police reports that identified other reasons for Angel Vincent's disappearance. The week prior to her disappearance, Angel Vincent had telephoned her father in Texas and expressed her desire to visit him. The authorities had previously charged the decedent with being habitually truant from school. The police treated her January 1988 disappearance as if she had run away.

d. The trial court rushed the case forward to trial. The trial began 53 days after counsel was appointed.

e. The trial court severely limited defense counsel's questioning of potential jurors, and seated a jury in four hours. Voir dire in a capital case usually takes anywhere from three to five days.

f. The racial overtones in the case overshadowed the trial. Darryl Durr is African American. The victim was a young Caucasian female. Deborah Mullins was a white female as was Darryl's common - law wife Janice Jackson Durr. During a break in the trial proceedings, the judge stated that he "wanted to see Darryl's black person ass in the chair for messing with white women". A police officer told Darryl's stepfather that he did not like him "because I was like Martin Luther King".

g. Trial counsel failed to investigate Darryl's family life and background in anticipation for the penalty phase of the case as is required by the ABA Guidelines for Capital Counsel in the Representation of those charged with an offense punishable by death. After Darryl was convicted, the case proceeded quickly to the penalty phase. The defense called Darryl's mother and his common law wife. Defense counsel failed to present a cohesive mitigation case and to explain to the jury information to give Darryl less than a defense sentence.

II. Defense Counsel were ineffective in the Penalty Phase

A. Counsel representing the capitally charged must meet minimum standards of proficiency - both in defending against the state's charges and in convincing the sentencer that death is not the appropriate sentence.

B. Counsel failed to investigate and conduct a thorough review of Darryl's background.

C. Counsel failed to present the following information to the jury, because they failed to investigate:

a. Tammy Jackson was a friend of Darryl's and a former girlfriend. She stated in her affidavit that Darryl was a nice person and he was never physically or verbally abusive to her and was never disrespectful.

b. Charles Johnson was Darryl's step-father. Mr. Johnson could have testified concerning some of the attitudes and experiences of a black man. He also could have discussed incidents from Darryl's childhood that would have humanized Darryl in the jury's eye.

c. Michael Durr was Darryl's older brother. Michael could have related what Darryl's childhood was like and his perceptions of Darryl's childhood.

d. Denise Durr was Darryl's older sister. She indicated that her father used to beat her mother. She spent time watching Darryl while her mother worked. Darryl found out as an older child that he had a different father (Eddie Wright) than the one who lived in the house. Darryl was very proud of his son and daughter and was a good father.

D. Counsel failed to obtain the assistance of experts

a. A social worker or mitigation specialist: This person is responsible for the gathering of records relating to the client's life including education and employment records. They also locate and interview persons, who are familiar with the client, be it family, friends, employers, teachers, etc. The mitigation specialist then creates a social history or overview of the client's life to aid defense counsel in creating a strategy for the penalty phase. No such person was retained, documents located, or social history created.

b. An independent psychologist: This person could have done psychological interviews and testing of Darryl. In state post-conviction, Dr. James Eisenberg examined Darryl and obtained the following information.

i. Darryl Durr is a 28 year old, single African-American male. He describes himself as an extremely private person who was quite naive about racism. Mr. Durr has shown a preference for white women beginning in his late adolescent years and had little or no understanding of the intolerance that he might experience from both the black and white communities. He grew up in a family with inconsistent discipline and little supervision. He never knew his biological father and lacked appropriate male role models through much of his childhood. He was mostly supervised by his siblings. During his early teens he spent much time away from home without any serious consequences upon his return. His family seemed somewhat "unconcerned" about his absences and would give him a bath upon his return. It appears that everyone within Darryl's immediate family were isolated emotionally from each other, though they loved each other.

ii. As a result of his emotional isolation from his family, Darryl grew up with strong feelings of ambivalence concerning relationships. Ambivalence, in this sense, is a psychological state noted by the existence of mutually conflicting feelings or thoughts, such as hate or love together, about the same person, object, or idea. Without adequate understanding of emotions, feelings, or even sexual tensions, Darryl responds to the external world often with opposing forces.

iii. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 (MMPI - 2) is a standardized questionnaire which elicits a wide range of self descriptions that are scored to give a quantitative measurement of an individual's level of emotional adjustment. Mr. Durr responded to the test with sincerity and a normal degree of expressiveness. The profile is likely to be valid. Individuals obtaining similar profiles have difficulties around the issue of impulse control and setting limits. They tend to be impulsive and overactive. Individuals with similar profiles experience repeated failures in interpersonal relationships. Although dependent and having strong needs for affection, they are anxious much of the time, feel easily threatened, and are overly suspicious of others. They have difficulty expressing emotions in a modulated fashion. There is also an extraverted, active, and outgoing quality to the overall MMPI-2 profile. There are no indications of any underlying thought disorder. There are no indications of any involvement with drugs or alcohol.

iv. Records reveal little in the way of any singularly traumatic event. His family pretty much let him do what he wanted. In his early schooling, Darryl had a rather optimistic attitude towards the world as reflected in his own statement written for the Diocese of Cleveland. In my opinion, this optimism ended when he began dating white women. He was then confronted with racial issues from both the black and white communities and had little ability to cope with those reactions and his own feelings. His family is not one to talk about these kinds of things. As such, Darryl's developing ambivalence towards these relationships resulted in confusion and a lack of identity, with the accompanying psychological defense mechanisms of denial and projection. These are defense mechanisms used to ward off the feelings of anxiety, isolation, and rejection.

v. Defense Counsel's presentation of mitigation excluded a psychological explanation of Mr. Durr and gave the jury no professional understanding of his life history and the developmental consequences he experienced as a result of his immediate family environment. Without such an explanation, the jury had no understanding of Mr. Durr's life, his particular family background, his strengths, his weaknesses, or of any underlying psychological issues. All the jury heard at mitigation was the testimony of his mother and ex-wife and an unsworn statement by the defendant which rarely sheds light on psychological issues.

vi. It is my opinion, with reasonable scientific certainty, that a psychologist's testimony at mitigation would have provided the jury additional and necessary information upon which to deliberate as to whether or not the aggravating factors outweighed the mitigation factors. At a minimum, a psychologist's input into mitigation was necessary for the attorneys to develop a meaningful and coherent strategy. At the time of this mitigation, December 12, 1988, psychologists were available for the specific evaluation of capital defendants for purposes of providing testimony at mitigation. Without such testimony, the jury had no understanding of the defendant, his personal development history, his strengths and weaknesses, his psychological functioning, and the way in which these possible mitigating factors related to the crime and the aggravating factors.

vii. It is my opinion, with reasonable scientific certainty, that Mr.Durr's lack of appropriate role models, absence of a biological father, emotionally isolated family, and his early environment should have been presented to the triers of fact and would have been considered as a mitigating factor under Section (B) (7) of the O.R.C. 2929.04.c. An expert on cross-cultural racial issues: Dr. Judith Skillings, a clinical psychologist with a specialty in cross-cultural racial issues also provided an affidavit for Durr's post conviction petition. Dr Skillings lengthy affidavit shed light on issue present in Darryl's case, which involved his relationships with three white women. She could have explained to the jury some of the reasons that Darryl seemed to be drawn to white women, other than his own attorneys’ explanation that he had to either be a drug dealer or a pimp. She could have also testified concerning racial issues that are not well known or understood by white people.

E. Counsel failed to act as an advocate on Darryl's behalf in the penalty phase:

a. trial counsel gave a one (1) page opening statement in which they never discussed any of the legal aspects of mitigation, the burden of proof, or offered any defense theory of the case.

b. trial counsel called only two witnesses, Darryl's mother and his common law wife (whose testimony had already been rejected by the jury in the trial phase of Darryl's case), because they had not interviewed other members of Darryl's family or other significant others in his life.

c. trial attorneys developed no theory of mitigation and had no organized method for examining the mitigation witnesses.

d. counsel gave a three (3) page closing argument in which they improperly discussed all mitigating factors, including those not raised by the Darryl.

e. counsel went through the first six mitigating factors listed in R.C. 2929.04(B)(1)-(6) and told the jury that none of them applied, implying he had no mitigating evidence.

f. In regard to the final mitigating factor listed in R.C. 2929.04(B)(7), counsel told the jury that he did not know what this mitigating factor meant, but if it had "any applicability at all," it might include residual doubt about Darryl's guilt.

g. counsel limited the jury's consideration of mitigation to one factor only, and then further limited this final factor to residual doubt. Then counsel further conceded that residual doubt may not even be a "legally" appropriate matter to consider under R.C. 2929.04(B)(7). In so doing defense counsel once again made the State's argument for the State.

h. trial counsel also failed to provide the jury with any plausible explanation as to why Darryl would be involved in a relationship with two white women at the same time, conceding instead that this was a "very unusual relationships."

i. Trial counsel failed to make appropriate objections to the prosecuting attorney's closing argumentj. Trail counsel failed to make appropriate objections to the jury instructions

III. Darryl has made productive use of his time on Ohio's Death Row

In the 20 years that Darryl has been on Ohio's Death Row, he has made the following contributions and enhancements to other lives:

A. He developed a ongoing friendship and "marriage" with Gina Vincente, a woman in the Philippines.

B. He became a legal clerk and tutor to other inmates. He has studied civil law to be able to assist incarcerated fathers to get contact and/or custody of their children and to preserve their parental rights. Darryl, on his own, filed many legal documents concerning his own child Angel Durr. Angel's mother, Deborah Mullins, lost custody of Angel in 1991 because of drug abuse and neglect.

C. In his early years on death row he staged a hunger strike to get the cells of the inmates painted since they were dirty.

D. He regularly donates what he can to the international charity "Toy Box" that sells children's handicrafts that are then sold with the money going to the children.

E. He helped Filipino burn victims May and Myla Santiago to get medicine and school supplies. Along with Gina, he tried to help them come to the United States for treatment at the Shriner's Hospital.

F. He is assisting another Filipino woman to prepare to go to college for nursing school by assisting them through the paperwork maize and application process.

G. He has developed a close relationship with a Filipino family that considers Darryl a father and grandfather and tries to help them with school supplies.

H. He mentors prisoners by helping them join the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the African Hebrew Israelites.

I. He writes letters to "at-risk" youth at the African Methodist Episcopal Church to help them stay on the right path.

J. He helps fellow inmates to get things they need or want like books and to draft the paperwork necessary to get medical help.

K. He helps fellow inmates with their legal proceedings.

L. He helped to prevent a possible assault-murder of CO Propst by encouraging prisoners to go to OSP psychologist Dr. Ceremiele. The psychologist was then able to talk to the administration and to stop CO Propst from further harassing prisoners and destroying their property which was creating a hostile and dangerous environment. CO Propst was eventually fired for this and assaulting another guard.

M. He has filed many grievances to try to improve the conditions of all inmates on death row.

____________________________________________________

Some abbreviated speaking points are listed below.

Trial counsel was ineffective for failing to:

Interview members of his family and obtaining a social history.

Object to portions of the State's closing argument.

Object to allegedly improper jury instructions.

Obtain experts for mitigation.

Trial counsel stated because the court would not cover the costs for a pathologist, criminalist, psychologist, or mitigation specialist, they didn’t attempt to get any sort of expert where a psychologist would have provided the jury with mitigation evidence.

Jason Getsy #330 121

Murdered by the State of Ohio on August 18, 2009

Ohio executes triggerman in 1995 scheme
(This seems to be the most comprehensive article.)

Words from court reporters and victim witnesses Charles and Nancy Serafino regarding the execution.

(Administrative note; It is not my intention to take anything away from the victims family, nor compound the anguish of Jason's family, yet media rarely mentions the effect and suffering that an execution has on the inmates family that I thought this clip should be included.)

Clemency Report

Ohio Parole Board with seven (7) members participating, by a vote of five (5) to two (2) recommends to the Honorable Ted Strickland, Governor of the State of Ohio, that executive clemency be GRANTED in the form of a Commutation to Life without the possibility of parole for Jason A. Getsy #A330-121.

The following factors were said to be pivotal to the majority’s recommendation for executive clemency:

1. Four defendants participated in the offense. Mr. Santine, the person who organized the murder plan, exerted considerable influence over the co-defendants. It is noteworthy that at Mr. Getsy’s trial, the state minimized Mr. Santine’s influence; at John Santine’s trial, it was the state’s primary theory of guilt – his influence over the other defendants. It is clear that neither Hudach, McNulty, nor Getsy would have engaged in the behavior that led to the tragic death of Ann Serafino in the absence of John Santine’s direction.

2. More than one justice (judge) has assigned Mr. Santine a greater level of culpability than Mr. Getsy.

3. John Santine was acquitted of hiring Mr. Getsy, yet then, 19 year-old Getsy was convicted of being hired by Santine.

4. Mr. Gesty’s original jury was limited in their ability to consider Getsy’s psychological history and any influence it may have had upon his decision to comply with the direction of Mr. Santine.

5. Mr. Getsy has continuously expressed remorse for the victims and their family and has an excellent institutional adjustment, and would likely do well in general population.

6. In imposing a death sentence, it is imperative that we have consistency and similar penalties imposed upon similarly situated co-defendants.

[Ben Hudach: 20 years to life, Richard McNulty; 30 years to life, John Santine: 20 years to life, Jason Getsy: Death by lethal injection August 18, 2009]

7. After careful consideration of all facts, the majority of the Ohio Parole Board recommends that Executive Clemency is warranted in this case
