Death penalty debate explains Ohio law twist and cases
Ohio allows the death penalty only for murders tied to specific circumstances. In Elyria, prosecutors seek death for Ernest Guyton whose aggravated burglary and murder may qualify, while other cases like David Campbell’s slaying lack specified grounds. White notes planned killings aren’t covered. Guyton and the Bittners faced plea bargains. Campbell’s attackers await trial.
