Gov. DeWine Delays More Executions
The governor announced the reprieves for the convicted murderers, citing the difficulty the state has had in obtaining drugs from manufacturers who contend that they're not meant for use in the death chamber:
Cleveland Jackson was scheduled to be executed on Jan. 13, but now is slated to die on June 15, 2023.
James O'Neal was scheduled to be executed on Feb. 18, but now is slated to die on Aug. 16, 2023.
Melvin Bonnell was scheduled to be executed on March 18, but now is scheduled to die on Oct. 18, 2023.
Ohio in recent years has had several problematic executions, including that of Dennis McGuire in 2014. The convicted killer gasped and choked for an extended period and lingered for 28 minutes after the death drugs were administered.
