Once-youngest death row inmate to be executed
A Springfield Township man who once was the youngest prisoner on Ohio's death row lost a bid Tuesday to avoid his execution.
A divided federal appeals court ruled that Bobby Sheppard should die for shooting a store clerk in the back of the head, even though prosecutors made "troublesome" comments at his trial and a juror broke the rules by discussing Sheppard's mental health with a psychologist.
