Posted December 11, 20231 yr Executions in Ohio Remain Low. Should Death Penalty Still be Legal? The number of states imposing or performing executions in 2023 was at a 20-year low, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, a group that complies such statistics. Polling indicates that public skepticism of the fairness and propriety of the death penalty continues to increase. And increasingly, bipartisan coalitions in legislatures are pushing to abolish it in states that haven’t already, the year-end report said. The U.S. Supreme Court is one institution, however, that seems to be out of step with the growing march against state-sponsored killing. Ohio continued to delay executions this year — as Gov. Mike DeWine has since taking office in early 2019. He first cited court findings that the state’s protocol might amount to cruel and unusual punishment. Then, after an appellate court struck down that argument, DeWine said the state couldn’t get the drugs needed to supply the death chamber near Lucasville. That said, 129 remain on death row in Ohio. https://columbusunderground.com/executions-in-ohio-remain-low-should-death-penalty-still-be-legal-ocj1/ "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
