Mink execution in Ohio marks first since 1940
Scott Mink of Union was executed by lethal injection in Ohio for the 2000 murders of his parents. He spoke to the warden, gave a thumbs up as his family watched, and died at 10:27 a.m. after a lengthy IV setup. His case ends Ohio’s pause and marks the first inmate executed after pleading guilty in the resumed 1999 period. Family statements framed the act as peaceful and faithful, while about 25 opponents protested nearby.
