Ohio Going Slow On Executions

04/28/2008 06:59:43

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio leaders haven't been aggressive at moving to restart executions after a U.S. Supreme Court decision ended a seven-month national pause to killing inmates.

Governor Strickland has said he is not comfortable with the death penalty, and Attorney General Marc Dann has said he thinks the state can do better in applying it.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided April 16 to allow Kentucky's lethal injection process, which is similar to the one used in Ohio and many others.    States including Texas and Mississippi already have scheduled executions.

Ohio has not set any execution dates yet, and top officials have made no public requests for quick action.

Ohio has 184 inmates on death row, many of them exhausting their final appeals.
