COLUMBUS, Ohio
The Ohio Supreme Court has refused to delay the execution of a man scheduled to die next week for locking a woman in the trunk of his car and burning her alive.
The court ruled Thursday that death row inmate Daniel Wilson failed to raise any substantial constitutional issues in his most recent requests for a delay.
Wilson is scheduled to die by injection Wednesday for the 1991 slaying of Carol Lutz in Elyria in northeast Ohio.
The 39-year-old Wilson wanted the court to hear his argument that he was improperly sentenced to death because of an error in the capital charges that the jury considered in his case. Wilson
also wanted a delay while he challenges Ohio's lethal injection process.
He has also asked Gov. Ted Strickland to grant him mercy.
