Judge Postpones Another Ohio Inmate’s Execution
Published: October 20, 2009
CINCINNATI, Ohio - A fourth Ohio inmate has gotten a temporary stay of execution as state officials and defense lawyers continue to examine the state’s lethal injection method.
A federal judge on Monday indefinitely delayed the scheduled Dec. 8 execution of 51-year-old Kenneth Biros, who was convicted of a 1991 murder and attempted rape. The judge also indefinitely delayed the second effort to execute Romell Broom, whose botched execution attempt last month prompted the review.
Gov. Ted Strickland this month postponed the executions of two other men who were scheduled to die before Biros, Lawrence R. Reynolds Jr. and Darryl Durr, until the spring.
The state is considering ways to adjust its death chamber procedure after technicians couldn’t locate suitable veins on Broom through which to administer lethal drugs.

Great…more tax payer money wasted on these dirtbags. I believe when you murder someone, found guilty and sentenced to die, you should be put to death the same way you put your victim to death. Also it should be carried out immediately following the sentencing. I am sick of supporting these dirt bags while they file appeal after appeal. Just get over with.
I’m getting tired of these stupid judges and the freakin idiot governor. Just get it over with and quit wasting OUR tax dollars already!!
Enough already… start injecting them with some hot lead!!!
