UPDATE: Ohio on Tuesday executed an inmate who strangled his neighbor in 1994 to get money for alcohol and whose lethal injection was postponed a week when he tried to kill himself on death row by overdosing on pills.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to stop the execution of a death row inmate who strangled an elderly neighbor in 1994 and who last week tried to kill himself by overdosing on pills.
