Summit County man on death row is among 28 condemned prisoners fighting against Ohio process
Published on Saturday, Feb 16, 2008
Associated Press
COLUMBUS: A judge has allowed eight additional Ohio death row inmates — including one from Summit County — to join a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the state's lethal injection procedures.
U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost said in a ruling Friday the inmates fall within a deadline for joining the lawsuit. The ruling brings to 28 the number of condemned inmates challenging the injection process, or about 15 percent of the 185 inmates on death row.
Because an appeals court has ruled differently on the deadline issue, the U.S. Supreme Court must decide that matter before inmates can argue about constitutional matters.
The inmates are Michael Turner (Franklin County), Melvin Bonnell (Cuyahoga County), Maurice Mason (Marion County), Michael Beuke (Hamilton County), Michael Benge (Butler County), Richard Nields (Hamilton County), Roderick Davie (Trumbull County) and Brett Hartman (Summit County).
Hartman is on Ohio's death row for killing Wanda Snipes, a 41-year-old hotel cook, in September 1997.
