Execution date set for Akron killer

By Beacon Journal staff and wire services

POSTED: 12:32 p.m. EST, Dec 03, 2008

The Ohio Supreme Court today set an execution date for a death row inmate from Akron who maintains his innocence.

Brett X. Hartman, 34, is scheduled to die April 7 at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility near Lucasville.

A jury convicted Hartman in 1998 of aggravated murder for the fatal mutilation and torture of Winda Snipes, 46.

Snipes, an acquaintance of Hartman, was killed Sept. 9, 1997, in her Highland Square apartment in Akron.

Snipes was stabbed 133 times, her throat was cut twice, she was strangled with a cord and her hands, which have not been found, were cut off.

Hartman has maintained his innocence, saying he was home at the time of the murder. He claims he found Snipe's body and panicked, removing evidence that he was in her apartment the previous night because he felt police would accuse him of the killing.

The court also scheduled a March 3 execution for Jeffrey Hill, sentenced to death for killing his mother in Cincinnati in 1991 for money to buy crack cocaine.
